Comments.Text: Not sure what point you are trying to make. There can be all kinds of reason for being behind in time such as personal time management, the opponent playing a novelty, etc. I would not dare to draw a direct correlation between time used and  and number of titles. Also, how would you measure "time" here? Time until move 30, time per move, time for whole game....?

Comments.Text: @user1583209 the point I'm trying to make is simple, Chess is mathematics and you can observe that good math students finish well before average students, I just want to see if the same applies to chess, it might be  time management but it might also be that is not as good, I just want  to know what statistics say.

Comments.Text: How do you exclude that it is a spurious correlation? I also don't see how your maths example fits in here. Chess players are not asked to find a solution in the shortest amount of time, but to find the *best* solution using all the time that is available to them. Also, the players in your statistics faced different opponents, (in your analogy, different maths problems). How would you compare them...?

Comments.Text: @user1583209 I don't care about the players, I want to know if  the tournament winner is the one who spent less time. I don't care about the player name nor the year he played. All I want to know is: Are the players who spent less time won more? if I get a 70% I get an answer, If it's 50% 50% then my study is a failure

Comments.Text: @user1583209 I expect to see at least 70% of the time the winner to be the one who spent less time, simply because he knows the theory more, the opponent has to figure it out on the board. So I only care about time, and who was the champion, not the name of the player. In statistics you are bound to have exceptions but I don't think it affects the study as a whole

  I don't know about statistics, but I do know that they are not "bound" to lose. It depends on the position. Is it easy to play, or is it a very sharp, tactical position? Also, is there a time-increment? Often, in classical FIDE games, there is. Based on experience, I can tell you that it can be very stressful being low on time in a long game, even if there is an increment. However, if psychological (personal) influences are ignored, `it very much depends on the position and on the time-increment`.
