I do not agree thats what makes them the Grandmasters!

I cannot play in the speed of 50 moves in under 30 seconds in ICC even if I try
to play only 1.a3 2.Ra2 3.Ra1 4.Ra2 5.Ra1....

I tried it in ICC as a guest some monthes ago and I cannot do it.

I can do it in real chessboard because I know that the opponent is going to play
before so I am ready to do a move but in ICC I have no idea when the opponent is
going to play.

Is there a way to laern how to do it?

It is not about knowledge about chess.
