I have no real preference, I play the colour I am allotted by the tournament director with equal unease.

btw...

I claim the moon is made of green cheese, please feel free to quote me. Tongue out

 It's not that stupid, many people claims that white will win because he has the first move, if the "perfect game" goes into an endgame (and it should) white may run out of good moves...

... and on what basis does "someone" suppose that it will be White who will run out of moves? It's like saying that heads is better than tails in a coin toss. To make any such claim is pure nonsense. Do you have a reference so that I may ingest some of this wisdom?

dont take things to serious, lighten up! white runs out first because white makes the first move...

white moves, black responds, white moves and blakc responds until white has nothing special to do, then black counterplays :)
