How it works
- Armageddon Style:
- White has 5 minutes.
- Black has 4 minutes.
- There’s a 2-second increment.
- And here’s the kicker: if it’s a draw, Black wins.
The rule explainer: in an Armageddon game, the player with the white pieces gets more time on the clock than the player with the black pieces. This may seem unfair at first, but there's a catch: if the game ends in a draw, Black is declared the winner.
This challenge is for everyone, all levels welcome. No pressure, just pure chess adrenaline.
See you on Saturday for the Armageddon Challenge. 🖤 ♟️
