Against slow opponents OTB

Originally posted by peacedog
I read some good advice once(I think it was in Simon Webb's Chess for Tigers*) that when playing a slow player who often gets in time trouble, one should steer the game into quiet positions where he has several options of equal merit. Aparently it was found that in those sort of positions, slow players waste the most time. What Rook to put on the open file? ...[text shortened]... fference.


*Wasn't IM Webb murdered by his son, or something like that? Or did I dream it?

Stabbed to death by his son about 4 years ago, or maybe 5? I think that's the case.
