racism in chess
Sort:
as we clearly seen white gets to move first and black later we should put an end to this by some other means of decieding who goes first either by chance such as a throw of coin of random descision by the computer or by rating. the game of chess is old and the old stereotypes crept into the game

First move belongs to the side that has lighter colour. So it can be yellow and blue or grey and black or pink and red

It just two colours that is end of it. Get it into perspective it is a board game. Could be purple and pink it make no difference I just suspect the origin of the game comes from making lighter and darker pieces
It's not like the pieces are insulting you ... Don't focus on the color inf act you can change he colors to like red and blue
Riot over it.

You know... whites... blacks... they're assuming white people are better than black people... you know?
Yes, exactly this is what we needed, another abusive troll thread about this dumb nonsense.
The moderators should just simply ban the opening poster.

It hasn't always been so...
The modern rule of white moving first came about because earlier, who moved was determined by a flip of the coin. It was considered "lucky" to have the black colored pieces, so to "even" things out, the player with the white pieces got to move first.
Looks like this started about 1880:

in online chess white or black is decided by the computer and in tournaments it is predetermined so everybody gets equal chances if you are this offended go play tic tac toe
the origins of chess trace back to india and the game of chaturanga so surely it isnt racist if it was invented by indians(just spitting out ideas dont know if it is right )
P.S. chill yo beans man
Im the black chess

It's just became the thing after Russia launched their disinformation campaign back in March 2022. When troll - it's probably Russian. People just affiliated them with trolling
