Maybe,  playing quickly, when the opponent is in time trouble,
is a typical mistake of amateur players.
But, many concepts are thinkable to make calculations with the
knowledge of the the remaining time of your opponent.
If the opponent moves very fast, in order to avoid time trouble it
maybe reasonable to move rather fast, too.
If the opponent moves slow, perhaps it could be beneficial
to think longer, too.

My question remains,
is the time-management of actual programs influenced by the
remaining time of opponents, - or do they use only their own clock
for time calculation.
