I believe that the important thing at slow time control except tactics is not to have chess knowledge about static evaluation but knowing to change the evaluation function during thinking. I expect the most talented player to be relatively better at long time control because at blitz players may play good moves that they know based on experience and find tactics that they know based on experience and it is a big advantage. In slow time control the better evaluation function of the old players is not a big advantage because the opponent can think and learn to change the evaluation function. Uri
