Is "White" Better Than "Black" When You're Playing Chess?
Sort:
Yes, white has first move but blacks span of openings have been proven to have more overall sway and control of the game. Black certainly has the advantage in defending, which is a very strong aspect of the game.

In theory, yes. The game starts "in balance" (even) and with White's first move the game moves out of balance. Assuming White makes a strong move, the balance shifts in his favour and the "best" Black can do is to try to restore balance (evenness). Theory pretty much goes out the window after several moves unless both players are world class GMs. (And, of course, White could make a terrible first move and give the advantage to Black . . .)
