I'm curious if anybody happens to have any statistics on sudden death ("armageddon") games at the GM level (as well as at other levels). The information seems difficult to find.
I'm specifically curious about whether white really does win roughly 50% of the time with that one-minute advantage. Typically the 6 minutes vs 5 minutes format seems to be the most popular, but for the upcoming WC it'll be 5 minutes vs 4 minutes, which seems to indicate that the organizers feel as though white didn't have enough of an advantage in the 6-5 format. Is there any tangible reason for them to feel this way?
