No, I'm saying I don't care what colour I play against a random opponent. On average I'll play black against 50% of them and white against 50% of them and it doesn't matter which, though I'd prefer the matching algorithm to be more intelligent at at least attempting to give a player alternating colours (for games against random opponents).

Every few weeks, someone starts a thread about rematches and not accepting them.
I wish players that want a rematch would understand that historically, pre-internet chess, players usually didn't play a rematch. Unless your in a situation in which there are only 2 chess players, it's not an expectation to play a rematch. Instead, it's decided before playing the first game if you want to play 2 or more games.
But isn't it unfair to play black and not be allowed a rematch?
Only if you have some kind of personal thing going on. Just play the board, the opponent doesn't matter at all.

There's 10s of thousands of people on the server. No point playing the engine of the person you just beat when you could just play someone new.

When I play white side with a new opponent, I offer him/her a rematch with white pieces. Just to even the chances.

Interesting. Let's assume for a moment that there were two groups of players: one (group A) will offer a rematch if and only they played with White, the other (group B) will never offer or accept a rematch.
As long as the group members only play opponents from their own group, chances will be even. But once they start playing each other, group B will have an advantage.
se você é melhor que o adversário, você ganha dele de novo

Do you also adjust your level of play to whatever level the opponent played at in the first game, to 'even the chances' too?!

When playing daily chess I tend to play starting positions that are unreachable from the default starting position, and it seems that in some of these starting positions the advantage of one side may be much greater than in the default starting position, to the point that it can be significant at lower levels.
In this strangely symmetrical starting position that I have been playing, for instance the first move advantage of white seems to be much more significant than in the default starting position
I think if we rematch in daily chess, we should get the same starting position as in the game we just played whether or not it is the default starting position.

No. Just play someone else and you'll probably be white!
Another issue. There is no difference in playing white or black. Just play solid chess.
No difference? Well, judging from your blitz game results you have more wins with white and more losses with black so there does seem to be a difference if you ask me.

If we played a game, you would be the "floor mat".

People get angry for little things.
It is a verb
If you can't rematch, then white should get less points for a win. If you win with black you get more points.
You're mistaking chess.com games against a random opponent with games that actually matter (if we assume that any chess 'actually matters')
