Hello how may I help you? Please tell who goes first for chess.' White usually goes first, but some believe it gives an unfair advantage to the white player Should I let black go first? You can if you want to Okay, why is white first? usually It's just tradition. Okay, so it can be changed also by who gets to be white, correct? who plays first You can flip a coin to choose. Great. That works. thx have a nice day!
