I played a game against a 6 years old child where I launched a strong attack against the poor child:
[fen ""]
[white "Me"]
[Black "6 years old child"]

He played strange moves in a few seconds in the opening, e.g. as 5...Qc7 or more concretely 11...Qa7 missing the exchange of 3 pieces for a queen (which Stockfish says is good for black) much better than the position where black finishes after 13. Nf5. He also moved his bishop twice in the opening, his queen twice... all this with his clock over 1 hour and 30 minutes in a standard 90'+30'' game.
Once he lost a piece he spent some minutes to play his king's moves after the checks with only two or three possible moves. It seems that he thought more about it when defending himself, but when I checkmated him his clock was on 1 hour 12 minutes for a 90'+30'' game.
Why do children move so quickly in standard games, specially in the openings?
In the tournament I am playing half of the players are children and after one hour and a half all children have finished their games and there are only adults playing.
I assume once a child joins a chess tournament it means he or she doesn't find it boring to play a chess game. I am just asking why they don't spend minutes in tricky moves as adults do. Why don't they use their time?
