I've only recently started really playing chess, gambits, forks, tactic training etc. I've been finding that no matter what i do i just can't win with black :( . Did anyone else have this problem while learning gambits etc? could you recommend some good tips to over come this?

not sure. i prefer black so I play it more then white. i bet some of the more experienced chess players on here will have better insight :)

do you drink when you play with black?

I like to attack so i play better as white. i used to  have the same problem.

use the sicilian

as u r an ataker game player this counter-atak will surely help u

*in a tournament  where i ve been[2 years ago] white has ~60% won and blak ~40%[not exactly!]

sicilian defence:1.e4    c5

 lol Na i like to smack up with a nice gram of heroin, when i play black help me mellow out :D

When I was new to chess, I hated playing black. You need to learn how to equalize against white's first move advantage and not let them dictate the course of the game.
