Does anyone know the general stats of black vs. white?

So far white leads in the western part of the world, Europe and America, the black has Afrika, but that's really not going to well for them.

This is obvious, Tricklev, but what are the stats? Is it a 90/10 situation, or more like a 49/51, do you think?

But, I was in a "chess" state of mind rather than in a "political" one, you might say, and I'd still like to know the stats governing chess pieces.

If you click Learn | Game Explorer, you see the stats for each first move. If you really wish, you can compute the stats for the whole game from there.

I really wish (!), Scarblac, and it's a bit to much to compute for me. I was hoping someone had done it previously.
