Always White

Sort:
Avatar of JFK-Ramsey

Since around middle Feb, every time I initiate a new game by clicking on the "Begin>>" button, I get White. I have gone to my options under Create a New Game and they are all set at random. This has happened eleven consecutive times without one game where I am Black.

I notifified Support but Dan didn't see this as a problem.

Has anyone else had a problem getting random colors when initiating a game using the Begin>> button?

No, but I would rather have White eleven straight times than Black eleven straight times.

Out of the last 20 games played, 12 are white, 8 are black.

Out of the last 17 non team match / non tournament games played 11 white, 6 were as black.

Your stats show that with the 108 online games you've played, 55 are white and 45 are black.

I'd be more concerned if that gap were larger. Let me know though if the 'always white' continues please.

Me mis_counting how many game windows i had open it seems. But the stats are correct

If you only look at the non tournament games that I initiated (using the Begin>> button), after 2/24/11, eleven consecutive games have set me up as white and not once as Black. This seems beyond any probability for something that is supposed to be random.

i looked at those within the last 20 you finished.

I looked at my on-line stats and found my record with the white pieces is 71-45-15 and 59-53-15 with Black. So statistically, I would prefer White as I do better. I've played White 131 times and Black 128 .... seems like a fairly even distribution.
