Your assertion 'all my stats seem to confirm this' would seem to be based solely on your Online games of which you have played only 42. This is not a truly representative sample, I am guessing.

I just checked your Live Chess Long stats (426 games) and got this, which seems at odds with your assertion above, and more in keeping with ordinary chess expectations:

In many of my Team Match games where I play the same person twice, I do better as black or at least equal.

My results seem to be informing me that I am better with white, which I completely agree with... however, this may be due to the fact that I still haven't found an opening I'm happy with as black.

I believe I feel more confident playing as white just because I feel as though I have more control in the gameand apperantly me stats show that...

           Wins          Losses       Draws         Games

White    86 (47%)     81 (44%)   17 (9%)         184 (51%)

Black    60 (34%)    114 (64%)    5 (3%)         179 (49%)
