Hello,

I've read somewhere that it is supposed to be balanced at some point : having black and white. Thats it is supposed to be random. But seriously, I keep having white... 6 times in a row, then one time black, then 7 times white in a row. I checked my stats : its like 158 times white and 129 times black. Did you ever had that yourself ?

Thank you for your help. Best regards

When paired, the person most due black gets it.

In the past 7 days you have had 18 white and 13 black. It's a little imbalanced but you should be getting more black as you'll likely be more imbalanced.

I'll ask to see if something may have changed, since your 30 and 90 day stats are more out of alignment then I would expect.

Thank you for your answer happy.png 18/13 is not that bad... I guess the psychological factor got me. I felt doomed ! (white is good but I also need to practice with black). It should be ok. Also I got black a little more after I wrote that first message.

Thanks ! happy.png

Found out color allocations are based over pools, and not for each. So it should balance across live play and if you switch time controls you may see some longer streaks. I had assumed based on how it worked, that a streak of 7 would be highly unlikely.

I'm pretty sure I had a 7 streak in rapid !
