 Jennifer Yu wins!
Blimey, I turned off after 35 Bg3 (mind you the online boards had been malfunctioning).
"Do you play chess?"
"Yes, but I prefer a game with a better chance of cheating."

 I really don't get why they came back the next day, just to play two 10 min games and an Armageddon; why not at least play 1/2 hour games or maybe another two 10 minute games. The whole thing was over in an hour.
These both sound right to me, and if you're going to come back for another day you really might as well try and have a more substantial play-off before resorting to the lottery stuff.
