First Move Advantage Exists I Can Solve for It
Sort:
Help this needs to be fixed let’s raise awareness
Fella, this is hardly a groundbreaking revelation... In virtually every turn-based game, he/she who goes first has the advantage. And nothing needs to be done, first because the advantage is small, and second, on average you'll spend the same number of games playing as White than as Black.

somebody has to go first in all board games. But this is not how chess is. maybe little known to you, but chess is an ancient game. Chess.com are not in charge of chess rules, and I dont think they will ever change. Also a bishop odds make black better off, so whats your logic there? doing that will create bigger odds.

What's it with these ridiculous troll threads lately suggesting dumb ideas?

A commonly played game called Hearthstone gives reparations to those who go second to counteract this toxic first move advantage. The solution exists, why deny it?

The first move advantage means nothing for real.
King's Gambit is good for black, so one pawn is more than the first move advantage.
See figure 4 (d)

Unless it allows you to punch first
Moving first does not seem to give you advantage

So you're drawing conclusions on the basis of nine decisive games?
Weak.

Literally the stupidest thing I’ve heard all day. ideal play ends in a draw. You are a sub 1000 player with little to no experience. Learn to defend yourself better instead of worrying about who plays first. Learn a key concept such as initiative. I’m tired of people complaining about how white is better.
