Bob will disagree with me. I do not mean this as a knock -- he is a fine player. I've seen most of the field play, but not all. So, I'm a bit out of line with this statement; however, I think Bob is probably the most likely to potentially get into trouble with a time problem -- MCG is close behind. Bob likes to end a match with little or no reserve time remaining -- thinking that he has then efficiently utilized his time allotment. However, occasionally, a match may be extended by complication or unforeseen events requiring a game or more to be played, effectively, on the delay. Great players can play well on the delay, but, in my opinion, the game of someone accustomed to playing very deliberatively has to suffer a bit when hurried.
