With OTB play I have more wins with Black. Online its about even. With an edge winning more with White. Where do others stand on this matter?

Strong players always have better stats with White as compared to Black.

According to Megabase 2009, I'm at 64% as White ("scores well") and at 58% as Black (also "scores well").

Natalia why more people play e4 while d4 has the higher success rate ?

I think there are two main reasons: 1) e4 is considered to be the strongest move 2) beginners are typically taught to play e4 because knowing how to play the positions that arise in this opening is crucial for becoming better at chess.
