Of course there's a statistical advantage for white and of course it's advisable to play for a draw if you're in a position that doesn't allow you to play for a win. But I think it would be stupid to play for a draw from the beginning with black when you're an amateur playing against another amateur. Your opponent will make mistakes and if you manage to spot them and exploit them while not making too many of your own, you'll most likely win, with white or with black.

I play to provoke mistakes from my opponent.

Try to win in drawish positions and try to miraculously save hopelessly loss positions.

Do You Try to Draw as Black on Principle?

^^^^ From the way I am interpreting the question above. I believe every chess player plays for a drawn position on principle.

An what I mean by that is. When people play with the black pieces they try to equalize. Which if you equalize with black your position should be equal/draw-ish.

So most chess players (if not all chess players) try to get equal/draw position during the course of there game.

Once they have reached an equal/drawn position than they seek to go from there.

Its easier to play for an advantage if your position is equal/drawn.

If you never reach an equal/drawn position its harder to win. Especially in higher level chess.

I never play for a draw, always for the win. It makes no sense to me to play from the beginning for a draw. If the game developes into a draw position, that's OK, but to play for a draw from the beginning just because you are playing black seems a little self defeating, doesn't it?
