Essentially there can be a maximum of four mini-matches featuring two games each. And if things are not decided by then, we get Armageddon, where the player with black pieces just needs a draw for victory.But before we get to the Armageddon, here is how the time control will work:If the score is level after the two regular games, after a new drawing of colours done immediately after Game 2, two games shall be played with time control of 15 minutes for each player + 10 seconds increment per move, starting from move 1. (THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO START NOW)*IF THE SCORE IS STILL LEVEL AFTER THOSE TWO GAMES* two more games shall be played with time control of 10 minutes for each player + 10 seconds increment per move, starting from move 1.*IF THE SCORE IS STILL LEVEL AFTER THOSE TWO GAMES* then after a new drawing of colours, 2 games shall be played with time control of 5 minutes for each player + 3 seconds increment per move, starting from move 1.*IF THE SCORE IS STILL LEVEL AFTER THOSE TWO GAMES*, then after a new drawing of colours, 2 games shall be played with time control of 3 minutes for each player + 2 seconds increment per move, starting from move 1.*IF THE SCORE IS STILL LEVEL AFTER THOSE TWO GAMES* then we get Armageddon.Nov 9, 2025 02:45 PM ISTFIDE World Cup tie-breaks timeHOLA.

Usually, it’s the job of these burly men with neon vests bearing the word ‘security’ to escort the 19-year-old past the hundred-odd fans to his hotel lift. Today, they needn’t have bothered. After being eliminated from the FIDE World Cup with a 55-move defeat to Frederik Svane, the teenager had a large ‘do not disturb’ written across his face that would have stopped even the most adventurous selfie seeker dead in their tracks.
