Robert Hess said tells Danya that no increment influences why Robert prefers white to black in Armageddon chess960. Of course it really depends on the bid, but I guess Robert would want a lower bid for black compared to an analogous case where Armageddon would have increment.

Have there been Armageddon games (in chess, chess960, shogi, xiangqi, go/baduk, etc) with increment? So far I've seen in chess960 they're all without increment.

  • @BrianTowers Thanks for the advice. In this case: I said if none. Because if there isn't, then there's not really much to discuss so i move on. If yes, then there's no reason to discuss why there isn't (since there is). – BCLC Feb 09 '23 at 13:30
  • @BrianTowers [Why is it unfocused to ask another question in the event of an uneventful answer in a yes/no question?](https://chess.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1154/why-is-it-unfocused-to-ask-another-question-in-the-event-of-an-uneventful-answer) It's like if I ask on maths SE 'Do there exist objects with property X?' If yes, then give example. If no, then you'd expect a proof as to why such an object doesn't exist right? – BCLC Feb 11 '23 at 08:02

2013 USCC Alejandro Ramirez vs Gata Kamsky had increment.

2013 U.S. Championships: Playoff (Part 2)

  • 6:07 - 6:22 - It's a 5 second increment.

  • 37:50 - 38:20 - Indeed both players get 5 second increment. Jen Shahade cites the increment as an explanation as to why players can afford to bid as low as, say, 18 min vs 45 min.
