Yeah, a bit harsh. I think it is about 92%.
To hijack this thread I find it more puzzling as to why so many high rated players play unrated blitz and bullets games. Dont be soft. Put your points on the table. Its not like they are really worth anything anyway. Killjoys.
Am I the only one who think that the people who post games where they get to play white are (most likely, as a general rule, but admittedly with exceptions) pathetic? There is no way most these people are just trying to practice with white (which would of course be fine), because there are 20x more people selecting white then black. My assumption is that 95% of these people pre-selecting white are just point-grubbing losers looking for any advantage. I never play any of them. While I am perfectly happy playing black, I dont want to play point-grubbing losers on principle.
Am I being too harsh? Certainly, I recognize that some small number of people may pre-select both white and black at times to practice, and thats totally fine. But what is the justification of the other 95%? I cant see any.
