Do peolpe in general prefer being the white pieces and having the first move or do most people like being the black pieces & letting their opponent
move first and try to gage their tactics.
Any thoughts anyone?
Bright green, bright yellow and bright blue. Especially when stoned. It was a nightmare and nobody could figure out what way the board was supposed to go or what colour was supposed to be white. If any.

If they're anything like me, they would rather be gray, having both the ability to move first, as well as reducing the stress and pressure of having to make that first move.
Were it possible, someone should come up with a variation of chess, wherein all the pieces were gray, matching exactly the shade of the squares.
That'd be cool.

the only problem is that my record of winning on black is way bigger. I dont know why. Maybe its because I dont know many openings on black
