First time I've done this. For RHP

White (354+50/2) / 597 = 0.3383
Black (357+41/2) / 626 = 0.3178

0.3383 / 0.6561 = 0.5126

Not surprised by that. I play better as Black I think.
My OTB scores illustrate this better (from just 9 tournaments)...

White (10+6/2) / 27 = 0.2963
Black (17+5/2) / 27 = 0.4074

0.2963 / 0.7037 = 0.4211

Maybe I need to branch out from Kings Gambit if 1…e5 or Smith Morra if 2…c5

White (575 + 81/2)/703 = 0,8755
Black (635 + 70/2)/776 = 0,8634

Ratio = 100*0,8755/0,8755+0,8634= 50,35%

Last time (oct '06) it was 49,5%

Perhaps my white game has improved relatively...

It's been another two months since last time....

(WW+WD/2)/WT = WC
(BW+BD/2)/BT = BC
WC / (WC+BC) = ANSWER

(406+88/2)/828 = .5435 = WC
(375+93/2)/825 = 0.5109 = BC
.5435 / (.5435+.5109) = ANSWER = 0.5155


.49345 --> .507998 --> .510530 --> 0.51216 --> 0.5143 --> 0.5154 --> .5155

Not a big change considering I haven't played all that much lately but my white percentage continues to improve. I guess my Bird is simply unstoppable...

For those new to this thread:
WW=White Wins
BW = Black Wins
WD = White Draws
BD = Black Draws
WT = White Total Games
BT = Black Total Games

(32+4/2)/65 = .2769
(43+2/2)/72 = .3125
.2769 / (.2769+.3125) = .4697 = 47% rounded off

hmm, I can tell I'm getting better because I used to lose more games as white then I'd win.

Score= 100* 0.6875/(0.6875+0.6445) = 51.61%

I guess Improvement for white is my goal.

but at OTB USCF rated tournaments for the past year I'm 53.43%
W=9-3-3 B=10-3-6 I get black more often than not! 🙁

I made a spreadsheet last year to calculate this stuff and this thread reminded me about it - cheers 😀

Here are my stats:

White
Wins - 75 - 56.39%
Draws - 3 - 2.26%
Losses - 55 - 41.35%

Black
Wins - 101 - 56.74%
Draws - 3 - 1.69%
Losses - 74 - 41.57%

Pretty equal really - Im just happy my wins are higher than my losses lol
