Since I have come back from holidays I have started 7 new games against various opponents.  I always choose Random colour and let the computer choose Black or White for me.

Of the 7 games I have started I have been allocated Black in 6 of those games.

Am I just unlucky and should I do the lottery this weekend as my luck is expected to turn?

not a good time to play russian roulette i would suggest

Unlucky i guess... 6 out 7 seven black is not that unsual... Just check a roulette wheel in your local casino...

And of course you should play the lottery... Just make sure to have the chess.com people talk to the lottery people, so they can setup something to even your bad luck out ;-)

Quick, challenge me!!!

you can always find your white/black % stats on your detailed stats page. it all evens out over time, but sometimes color allocations are "lumpy" :)

I think I'll do the lottery all the same, just in case.

erik is probably right

Obviously he is right.

This is just a sort of tongue in cheek thread, just light hearted.

u r on the wrong side of the bell curve. lol

maybe black is like associated with the random color.

Black is beautiful!

 Any luck with the lotto yet ?  notice you have been very quiet lately Homer.

No luck on the lotto yet and it was €100m last night, which would have been nice .

The Evil one got a lat call up for a trip to Everest, so I have had to get jiggy with a bit of non mental training for the last couple of months and as such have had to wind things on chess.com down a bit.

Anyways, glad to see you keeping well mate!

No worries mate, good luck on the Everest.
