1st , forget the presidential puns - I would like to hear some honest debate/opinions about a recent occurance here :
I received a message from a player requesting a game with me . After a bit of back and forth involving setting our challenge settings to allow this to happen , I sent two game challenges , one as wht and one as blk . The game where I was white was deleted . I checked his homepage and game record . He plays in no clans , and his game record indicates about 80% of his total games played were as white . The guy almost never plays black . I messaged him and asked why the game was deleted , and that it was customary for games to come in pairs , one as each color to even things out . He said he was not 'most players' , and he didn't like doing that . So I deleted the remaining game without comment . Dude emails back and trashtalks me that he'd have beaten me anyway .

Is it me , or this a little bit bush-league ?

Did you talk about playing two games? Personally I believe he is
bush league and is not like most players, since most players are
interested in fairness and chess, instead of some warped desire for
playing just one color.

Well I don't usually play paired games but looking at my record I have 30 games as white and 32 as black.
Playing only one colour seems a little limiting. And pointless. Don't forget pointless.

I knew a black guy who would only play as black. It was really odd. He wasn't the least bit racist.
