While intuitively I would agree, was there any study done that supports this point? If true it would follow that positionally strong engines are relatively weaker in Blitz. Is this really true? What about an alternative explanation: Rybka´s comprehensive evaluation allows it to make positionally strong moves even in Blitz, while other engines need plies in order to catch up with respect to positional strength.
