I >would say that Tal's blitz time management (for my standard testing method) >is...er...a bit not perfect. I did not see something strange in the time management of tal. The games are posted with time per move and I do not see for example that tal is using 1 second per move in 3 hours per game for the first moves or for the last moves. Can you give examples for the bad time managemant of tal? Maybe the problem is that tal sometimes plays without thinking in x hours/game when it did not expect the opponent's move but I think that if it is the case then it can be proved by looking at tal's depthes. The games are posted only with Junior's evaluations so I cannot know if it is the problem. Maybe there is another bug and tal can produce better moves in the same time if it knew that the time control is x hours/y moves and not x hours/game I do not have tal so I do not know. Uri
