why always black to me
Sort:
C'mon be optimistic. Don't think that being black is a loss by force. It's all roughly 50/50 % chance. The player's skill decides, who will win. If you're bad at black, you won't be better at white either.
Truth is, black has a few advantages. On white's first move, and for a few after that, he basically shows a little of his "hand", to steal a poker term. Black has the luxury of being able to see what white is up to and thwart it. White has to find a way to capitalize on his first move.... which is not an easy task!
iT VERY WELL TO QUOTE CONCOCTTED DATTA EVERY DAY REPEATEDLY i AM OFFERED BLACK ONY THAT IS THE TROUTH. i DONT GET MORE 25% WHITE .wHY DONT YOU QOUTE FROM LAST 50 GAMES i HAVE PLAYED. AND STOP USING FOUL LANGUAGE.

At the moment, you've played alot more games as white than you have as black, so being given black now is evening out the stats.
Also, if you're given black and you abort the game, you will keep getting black until you play it.
You can choose to play white with direct challenges or by unrated games.

Ok,
I have this idea, which might satisy everyone. Why doesn't "id" (which by the way reminds of Freud), set up a tournament which he is White in every game?
Of course, he might have some of his fellow players complain about being Black all the time, but this are the wishes of the "id".
In all games of chess only one player is allowed to play White. What you do when are in fact White, and when you are Black, is basically up to you. That is chess, that is life.

(Who also likes to play white and wishes everyone would play 1.e4!)
I have raised this topic any number of times still to day i am offered blacks only repeatedly . It is frustating to play with disadvateage of one move. Are there no rules on the allottment of black aletnatively? Some players alyas play white only and abort if allotted black
