Ok, in the ongoing idea suggesting new ideas for multiple reasons, I
am wondering about this one. I read in Games Magazine that the
Chess960 world championship was decided with a final game of Blitz
Chess960.

On that note, I am curious what people's thoughts would be if you were
to have regular chess have a final tiebreaker game be a blitz chess
match, rather than the world champion retain the title.

Any comments?

Its not a new idea, been used in various forms.

My personal view: it's like deciding the results of a 10K dead heat by
having the contestants run a 100 m dash. You don't really change the
result: the 10K was still a dead heat, all you know is who can run the
fastest 100 m amongst 2 tired long distance runners.

Of course this kind of idea is found in sports like American football,
with sudden death overtime, forced 2 point conversions, more crap to
make the game "televisable" or understood by talking monkeys is all
the vogue.
