<p class="ox-740b7982b6-MsoNormal">I agree Fischer time is different to byo-yomi, however a player who had run out of time would still have to play <strong><em>on average </em></strong>a move every 7 seconds. I think we all know there are players who will naturally end up out of time by the middle game, no matter how much they start with. Taking into account the clock may be on the ‘off hand’ side of the board, which could in itself cost up to a second a move, it can be very hard to generate any significant time back for considering complex moves.</p>

Time management is an important part of the game. How that person got to a state in which they only have 7 seconds to make a move is the crucial question.

For example was it due to procrastination or simply being outplayed and requiring more of one skill (call it reading) to compensate for deficiency in other skills, c.f. Cho: High Speed Positional Analysis or Kajiwara: Direction of Play, (call it intuition)
