He gave me 5 minutes and he took 30 Seconds.. and beat me game after game after game.. Sad end though, he was a Postal worker, and one of his fellow workers.. stabbed him to death. Jacquline & Gregor (the world famous cellist) sponsored a Simultaneous Exhibitionby Reshevsky to play 12 local Masters. Sammy took 5 minutes and gave the Masters 10, and beat them all. Over the board, you can make many, many moves in 30 secnds.. Ask Walter Browne 6 time U.S. Champion.. a great Blitz player. On ICC I have played 1 0 games where I played 78 Moves in 60 seconds and still lost on time...
