Blitz and Bullet strength is most important for serious chess players. Nobody cares about long time controls.
complete nonsense
No, it is true. No serious chess player analyzes a position for more than 10 seconds.
You are kidding right? Or you speak of engine analysis only? Because I don't believe that statement to be true.

You have absolutely no idea. The professionals do interactive Analysis, therefore the engine usually does not calculate long. Certainly almost never 3 minutes or more for a particular position.
I would imagine chess gms probably "browse" through many games with engine analysis in background -- one simply does not have time to analyze every position for too long. Since FB/Ippo are much better at short time control -- Rybka 3 will be used at best for very long time analysis to see the alternative evaluation a few times. -- On the other hand - Isnt SF 1.7 a bit stronger at long tc or about the same ?

That is not how top GM's use an engine as an analysis tool. Most of their use of an engine is to test opening theory and probe possible new theoretical lines to surprise their opponent. For that, I am afraid a few seconds of analysis won't cut it.
I know he has been rated over 2650, which is good enough for me. I think he is an extremely creative player, albeit not as consistent as one might hope.
