Not only at (very) high-level play, but also at normal time control. I seriously doubt if a typical player would play Chess 2 taking 1.5 hour for his first 40 m

Not only at (very) high-level play, but also at normal time control. I seriously doubt if a typical player would play Chess 2 taking 1.5 hour for his first 40 moves, as professional chess players do... In speed chess there's obviously more mistakes, and thus considerably less draws, even among grandmasters.
