I don't want to play with the white pieces.

I am just fed up. The matching algorithm in this website is just utter rubbish. I keep getting the white pieces, and I am just tired of this nonsense. It seems to me that my opponents are given an unfair advantage. They know what I played so they can react properly. As white, I am in zugzwang and, no matter the move I play, I will be making concessions to black. Also, the black pieces look better than the white ones, so, apart from the psychological advantage of not having to decide first, my opponent also has an aesthetic advantage. It is just unfair, if this is not solved properly, I may leave the website. Chess is interesting, but having the white pieces is just taking all the fun of it.

Also, I forgot to tell you that I get the white pieces more or less half the time! Can you believe it? This is just unbearable. I think I could play white a maximum of 20% of the games, otherwise I may get mad soon.

I understand what kind of post this is but the solution is to play unrated and only put out seeks as black. Problem solved tongue.png

I disagree, nobody has tried to solve my problem, nothing has changed.

If Daeth were still around you could solve your problem by playing all of your games against him. Alas, that's no longer an option.

Rating is based on a fair ~50/50 ratio between white and black.
Thus you got no solution just because there is none.

You're a noob if you don't like playing with the white pieces and noobs should just make do with what they get.Don't ask for more than you deserve.

That is because there is no solution for Live, other than playing unrated.
