Remember, that in Live Chess, you can only choose the color you want to play if you are playing unrated or if you directly challenge another player. Random challenges will have color assigned by the server software. Over the course of about 20 games, these color assignments will average out very nearly 50% for white and 50% for black.

Isn't it strange how perception and fact often fail to coincide on these forums. What y'all smokin'?

PLease, prawn, use correct grammar. It is "What are y'all smokin'?" or "Whatcha smokin'?" or, if you are missing more than three teeth, "whushmokn."

How perfect Undecided

I suppose you're right, Jerry. I missed the form "whatchy'all smokin'" which is equally viable.

hey you didn't inderstand or i couldn't explain i like to play as black...and i played 6games 4 of them was black and i become black after 100times i started game then aborted... every time i joined togame i am white ...i selected unrated and black in didn't changed anything i am white white and white......

ivandh

 It doesn't matter how many games you abort. You finished 6 games as white and 4 games as black. If you had played through one of those 100 games you started as white, you probably would have gotten black the next game.

ivandh i didn't play 6games as white.please look carefully to my game statistics.....teh chess game site divided equally 50/50 white and black parts (as everyone said)...but i am white white and white

You can't choose colour.Just read a post #5. Colour choosing was frequently abused by some (picking only white), so chess.com disabled it.

For several years a friend I played chess with would only play White.  It was that or no chess with him.  Actually, it helped me learn to deal with Black.  I finally talked him into playing Black.  Needlessly to say, he had a difficult time dealing with it. Black is more of a challenge to me, so I enjoy playing it.

I remember reading about a tournament where one player's name was Black and the other's was White.  What was even more unusual was that Mr Black played White and Mr. White played Black.
