Which colour do you like best?

Black or white?
Why?

black, because white is... in zugzwang!
😀

gray, shades of gray, grey too, any day, white, all the colors in glorious radiatiant array, black, dark and mysterious, beautiful and potent, shadows and contrasts, white, black? gray .. . .that's for me, today

The great mid-twentieth century Grandmaster Efim Bugolubov once quipped: "When I'm White I win because I'm White, when I'm Black I win because I'm Bogolubov."

I like White because it makes it easier for me to attack.

On the other hand, someone once said that Black has a forced win because White makes the first mistake.

I think it may have been GM Larry Evans who said that the better player will win with either color, but it takes longer with Black.

Ginger.

I love to play white.

I like playing the Black chess men. P.S. I do not believe that White is ahead of Black at the start and therefore Black should play for a draw.

I like blue -- to match my eyes!

I prefer to play black, in the (ofttimes mistaken) belief that it allows me to dictate the opening variation.[/b]
