It tries to balance color allocation for both players. It is very possible to get a string of blacks in the short term but overall, it will even out to close to 50/50.

 

In looking at your stats, that appears to be close. Though, if you end up aborting when you get black, you may find yourself getting longer strings of them in that attempt to balance.

Yep, never let the truth get in the way of a moan.

Well, aborted games don't show there, so that is why I mentioned that. The OP might be seeing more blacks because of that.

If you use the word "got", when you should use the word "have", you will always get the black pieces.

LOL. That's funny because I actually want to play more games on the Black side. I'm so used to White that I want to balance my situations.
