why am i always black?!
Sort:
Iv lost about 11 games in a row now. I know I’m not good I only learned how to play a few weeks back, but every time I search I seem to be black.
do you have a challenge set up that way perhaps?
I was playing against this dude . I only play rated games so there is no always black or always white setting like unrated games.This guy lost with white and the rematch I had black again , I thought I was going crazy so after that game I accepted his rematch and I was black again. Obviously some people are running a script for cheating in this site.

Can you show the games? The system will automatically switch colors on rematches, if the rematch button is used. Also, if you play a person you have played previously in a random seek, it will automatically switch colors from your last game.
With the exception of unrated live games, or daily, a player can't impact the color choice.

For example, here is someone you recently played multiple times and the color alternated each time:
You played a batch of games in June 2020 against that same player and those also alternated.

I have used both buttons for rematch, but I'm still always black. Why?

As Martin asked the first person, which games are you talking about? Because under this account you've only got a handful of live games:

Not live games; playing against the computer.

You have to select the color you play each time on the bots.

I don't know how to do that (I've searched the site for such a choice.) I've been a member for years and this never happened before.

@General Martin - I don't mind alternating, but being black every time... well, it sucks.

Sometimes it's just bad luck, if u flip a coin 10x there's a chance it'll be 9 tails and 1 head

When you select a bot there's a color selection option.
