Jul-31-12  TheaN: What were the rules for the third game in a round, Armageddon? It strikes me that in both conclusive games, Black won (Carlsen vs Bacrot, 2012 & Pelletier vs Morozevich, 2012)
Jun-06-15  zanzibar: The comment by <chessgames> should be promoted into the intro section. Which should probably copy over the tournament conditions (in case the link goes stale):
