Armageddon mode

Idea for custom tournaments ? :)

Armageddon

A game guaranteed to produce a decisive result, because Black has draw odds (that is, for Black, a draw is equal to a victory). To compensate, White has more time on the clock. Common times are six minutes for White and five for Black, or five minutes for White and four for Black. This can also be played with a small increment.[9] This is also known as "time odds" and it is used in various tie breaks for quick tournaments. An example of Armageddon was played by Ian Nepomniachtchi vs Hikaru Nakamura at the 2015 FIDE World Cup.[10]

Isn't a 'black auction' also a regular part of armageddon? We say white has e.g. 6 minutes and then players specify how low of a time they're willing to go for draw odds as black. Whoever specifies lower plays as black.

6:5 with draw odds for black seems like a huge advantage for black. It'd be interesting to see where the elo adjusted results start to hit 50/50.

Nice to have citations not removed xD
On another hand its a nice idea. We already can do some more advanced stuff for tournaments (which is a great addition!), so something like this would be an upgrade. Maybe it can be used to break ties.

What I would like to see is a "only berserk" mode. So far we can prohibit it but if you want to make a berserk only tournament (which probably makes sense only in Ultra), people won't berserk back.

Sorry :) just quickly copy paste from wikipedia :)

Well basically the way i see it you have an extra button beside berserk that is armageddon.
If you are white and you press it but your opponent don't you get black ?
If you are black and you press it but your opponent don't you get white ?
If both press it you the color are not changed ?

Each time diff the time is on the clock 4mn vs 5mn (white / black)?
