Really? There were lots of events in the past with comparable time controls,
like the Intel Grand Prix. It seems that several grandmasters did contradict
your opinion, because they participated. And: A **Grandmaster** must be able to
defends his reputation on ANY time control, because: the opponent doesn't have
more time either. No?

Grandmaster = always, not just at 40/2h no?
