Slow Chess

In the 2:30 SD World 2022 blitz chess game at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cswfzgo1MM Magnus Carlsen arrives late with 30s left to play slow motion chess. I did not know that chess blitz was so slow compared to go blitz!
In the 1995 European 9x9 Go Championship with 10' SD in my last and decisive qualification game, I used most of my time on move 5 and then had 26s left. Afterwards, to execute the strategy and win the game on 4s remaining time, I had to move super fast, at least what feels like 4x Magnus's speed in that game.
