Sure there is no perfect correlation between blitz-strength and slow-rate strength. but a kind of correlation is still completely evident. Grossly the same engines who are on top in blitz rating lists tend to be the same who perform well at a slower pace. Do you have any example of a pair of engines with one rated 100 points higher than the other at blitz and with the second rated 100 points higher than the first at slow-rate ? I do not know any such example ... Marc
