There’s a book I read called The Zugzwang Method which stated “The trend of modern chess. Effective time management”.

Basically anyone who gets into time trouble is about 2-300 ELO worse. Seems similar to what you said

Never heard of that book, but just looked it up and seems interesting. And yeah definitely agree with being about 200-300 ELO worse, unless you're Grischuk.

Let me know what you think. The first section about the nature of chess was really interesting.

Is that the book by Daniel Muñoz Sanchez (titled "The Zugzwang Method: How to optimize your chess preparation") ?
