| May 31 at 4:37 | comment | added | BCLC | @ChrisB When you flip it doesn't matter because both players are indifferent. They could even give white to lower rated or 1st in alphabetical order. Right? If they both believe 9:37/15:00 is the optimal amount then the even time player is at a disadvantage. However ... If an armageddon bid is drawn, then is it fair to force a re-bid? | |
