score = WS/(WS+BS)
WS = (WW+WD/2)/WG = (47+3/2)/73 = 0.664
BS = (BW+BD/2)/BG = (47+5/2)/78 = 0.635
0.664/(0.664+0.635) = 0.511
quite even. it doesn't seem to matter much which color I'm playing.
BS = (BW+BD/2)/BG = (110+10/2)/164 = 0.701
0.744/(0.744+0.701) = 0.515
not much change in 3 years and 170 games, only 0.4% more white wins.
4 more draws with white and 5 with black (3 & 5 draws respectively in the first 150 games). damn, looks like I'm heading for risk avoiding geezer chess! 😛

So a bit better at black relatively speaking. Likely I am not able to get full advantage as white.
Only not so much favouring white as the number gatecrasher gave in his original post.
54.02% So pretty much what the databases predict.
I actually thought it would be higher for me as I remember far more white wins than black. But then I noticed that I’ve played white 55% of the time. Strange as I always set colour to random when I seek a game. Maybe, many players are inclined to set it to play black, for learning openings ect?
