Kasparov takes his time in the opening quite a bit, even when it is well trodden theory. For example against Polgar in the tired old 6.Be3 Ng5 Najdorf variation which has been played over and over for the last 10 years, Kasparov took more than 10 minutes for the first 10 moves or so, so I think that you start off your argument with an assumption which might be innacurate. Kasparov does sometime take well over a minute in the opening for even routine moves. Jeff
