I think it would be wrong to say this about those two games.  In the first game
he had 4 minutes left, thought for 2 minutes, and made a bad move.  I believe he
was significantly worse before that point.

In the second game I don't remember anyone talking about time problems.  He had
two minutes left at the end, and was badly busted with six minutes or more left.
