I still don't understand why Black should not get equality. There's no such thing as "First Move Advantage". It's all a myth.
Even engines will believe in it. On my engine it says 0.36 after 20-something ply. And I have Fritz 13.
Alright, it's not racist. But I still do not understand this whole, "Black doesn't deserve equality," stuff.
The ability to make the first real threat, to dictate the pace and style of the game - that is what gives white a SMALL edge. Not much of a pull, mind you, but a pull nonetheless. In a boxing match the guy who tosses the first jab often gains some advantage, however slight, for that round, if for no other reason than his opponent must react to him. That reactionary position is slightly disadvantageous. Ditto for chess.
So are you saying that it's bad to give black equality???
