True, I was only pointing out earlier that Tal was a very good blitz player, and I think his style of play fit in well with blitz where having good attacking instincts will carry the day in many cases as players crack under pressure.
Tal certainly didn't play during the heyday of the Internet (started around 1992, took off in 1995) and I am not sure when blitz Internet play started, but as noted, the lag wasn't dealt with until later (and it sometimes is still a problem, though i would imagine less on the professional level).
