World Chess Championship - TIEBREAKERS

previous thread: (Chess is a sport recognized by the IOC, pls don't delete: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_IOC_Recognised_International_Sports_Federations)

Tiebreakers are underway. CARLSEN WINNING 3-1, POTENTIALLY LAST GAME UNDERWAY. The 12-game match between the defending champion Magnus Carlsen (Norway) and the challenger Sergey Karjakin (Russia) ended 6-6, thus today we have tiebreakers, meaning that by the end of the day, the champion will be decided.

The first tiebreaker is 4 rapid games (25 minutes + 10 seconds per move). If after the rapid games the score is 8-8, then the second tiebreaker will be 2 blitz games (5 minutes + 3 seconds per move. If after those games, the score is 10-10, then they once again play 2 blitz games, up to a total of 5 times. If after 10 blitz games, the score is 18-18, then a final sudden death (a.k.a. armageddon), where white has 5 minutes, black has 4 minutes, the players have no increment until move 60 (where they get 3 seconds per move), however black has drawing odds (meaning that a draw would mean a win of the championship for black).
