I would like to bring to your attention that tactics and search depth are
crucial at any time controls in chess.

Showing dimishing returns from increased search depth is so difficult that in
practice there is little difference between blitz and long time controls.

If engine A gets a beating at blitz, expect it to get the same beating if you
repeat the match with long time controls.
