Does white have more of an advantage than black?

White is always 1 move ahead.  And he gets extra clock time for first move.

I think there is an advantage because...

• White has most say in what the opening will be
• White is a tempo up
• White can control center more easily in opening
• White can choose if he wants to be defensive or offensive more easily than black

We Indians don't see if we have white pieces or black. We just play...infact, I love to play with black pieces!

You may do that but some don't. White pieces matter. White has a slight edge from the opening to ending.

First move advantage is very real. At the top level white scores approximately 55% which is the expected score for someone 35 Elo points stronger. In other words, changing colours of the players also changes the balance of power by about 70 Elo.

In a game between complete beginners first move advantage is naturally almost meaningless but with increased skill it quickly becomes important. One might think that the advantage would continue to increase the further up you go along the Elo ladder but I'm not sure if that's true. I tried doing some database searches and while I don't have very extensive database for U2000 games I compared games where both players are rated 2600+ with those where they lie in 2100-2300 range and couldn't see any big difference in stats.

E

what do u mean by "E = Trump"

The advantage varies according to the acceleration of the frame of reference. This is why some players play better or worse relative to the set of all players when given different time controls.

A

Maybe E

B

A, but the advantage is very small. This advantage can't be converted to a forced win, however, as it is a very small one.

...only in reality.

It's simple.

Playing white inflates your elo by 70.

Playing black deflates your elo by 70.

I would have thought the inflation/deflation would increase with rating.

I read someplace that white scores 55% and black 45%. If this is true, consider the following:

two 2000-rated players who alternate white and black are supposed to score 50% against each other. 

Two 2000-rated players where one always plays white, are supposed to score 55% - 45%. 

This type of score corresponds to a rating difference of about 35 points, if memory serves. 

This means that the first player had his rating boosted by 17.5, and the second had his rating depressed by 17.5 - so 2017.5 - 1982.5. 

White gives you an extra 17.5 elo. Black takes away 17.5 elo from you. 

The +35-40 elo advantage is true for GM practice.  The advantage decreases with skill.

This seems to be true.

I now look at my own blitz stats - and over 10,824 blitz games played (Oh my!! 10,824 already?? I should get a life!!), I win one percent more games as white (50% compared to 48.8%) and I draw one percent more as black (6.9% compared to 5.9%). My loss percentage is pretty much the same (44.1% compared to 44.3%). 

This means that I score 0.5% better as white overall. Who would believe!
