“Tyler Cowen, an economist and chess expert, tells me this has been known to happen, but is regarded as unnecessary because it is so easy to take turns to play white.”
Known to happen = a matter of course in tiebreaker blitz matches, right?
they should also do it like any sensible kid on the playground would and not be sudden death, but the score after an equal number of possessions.
But that gives a big advantage to the team with the second possession. You know how points you need to win.
