Select color during Live Chess

Here's a simple idea: allow players to select to play either White, Black or Random in Live Chess! This would be great for experimenting with various openings. 

Half an hour ago, I wanted to try out a new opening with the Black pieces, so I started a game, and got the White pieces. I abondoned the game, started a new one and got the White pieces again. I abondoned about ten games, getting the White pieces in all of them. Then I played a game (with the White pieces), and started a new game. Again(!), I got the White pieces. Kind of silly, especially, since I wanted to play Black. 

I hope you will consider this. Thanks! 

This should be unrated games only IMO.  Otherwise certain people would only play as White.

Maybe. If certain people are that silly, then yes.

There already is a choice in unrated games, because in the New Game Game Type Settings, you have an option of challenging as Unrated: White or as Unrated: Black.

Oh! Yes, there is! But I just tried it, and no match was found. I guess very few play unrated games. 

Maybe it could be made possible to choose color also during rated games, but maximum something like 25 games in a row. Thereafter, the random games following with be 2:1, so that after x number of games, the total number of games with each color would be the same.  

What I mean is this (as an example): 

I want to experiment with the Latvian Gambit, so I choose to play a rated game with the Black pieces. I keep playing with the Black pieces for 25 games. Now, I'm done with my research of the Latvian Gambit, so I choose Random color games. The next 75 games I'm giving either White or Black, at random, but weighted, so I get the White pieces 50 times, and Black 25 times. All-in-all, I've now played 100 games, 50 games with each color.
