I did not. Thanks for telling me. I wonder why they changed it though if that's true., but I wouldn't be surprised if the reason was correlated to race.
I can't remember the reason they changed it but def not racial. They changed it long ago. You can research for it

Interesting article here:

The "Immortal Game" between Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky black moved first. It is "adjusted" for our modern databases and convenience.
I bet @Batgirl has done an article here on this, she has a fascinating collection of stuff like this.
