Chess.com is probably the only chesssite making good money and it has very nice features and the looks of the best gui but...... it contains so many errors they wont solve like one of at least 25 serious ones i have today is having 5 times black of my 6 games..... think about it and conclude how bad their details are....i have numerous of them (and they ignore them all)

Color allocation is random, so you can expect to have strings of the same color. Over the long run, it will tend to be 50/50

I find Chess.com to be one of the best chess websites, from the 3 main chess websites. But, is it fair after a win to have black pieces? We know that in normal chess after a win we play with White pieces.

what if your opponent also won? then they would complain if they got the black pieces.

Color allocation is random, unless you've played an opponent before, where you get the opposite color of your previous game with them.  Outcomes of previous games have no impact on color.

What you are experiencing could be caused by a lot of different things, from the client, to things between you and the site.

This is incorrect.

What constitutes “normal chess”? Chess between some friends?

In otb tournaments, at least, that’s not how it works.

lol since when? My "normal" is that if you play white the first game, you get black next game, regardless of result and you continue to alternate like that whenever possible

Obviously other tournaments such as OTB (which I have never played in) probably has some other more clearly defined rule for colors. Getting white if you win is most definitely not one of them

We can't play on a white board, we need both pieces just like Yin needs Yang and vice versa to continue flowing one into the other.

I am rethinking this issue, and I say that I should be better prepared for either situation (Black or White). I should be prepared to welcome each. I guess then I am in harmony and not in negation.

Thanks for the reminder @Yurinclez2 🙂
