So, okay, I'm reading about the Armageddon game in the Women's Championship, and the article doesn't explain what an "armageddon game" is.  I've never heard the expression, though certainly I have a pretty good guess as to the meaning of the phrase.  But so I can be sure, could someone who knows explain this to me?

Absurd
It's a blitz game, but the key differences are that time is slightly skewed in White's favour, and if White doesn't win, Black is considered to have won. A draw is a loss for White.

Oh, okay.  Thanks!
