Hello how may I help you? I have a question about the game of chess. Sure what is the question? Who is suppose to go first? White goes first, although experts say this might give an unfair advantage to white It sure sounds like it does. Is it always white or can black sometimes go first under other circumstances? If you're playing on your own, I would say you don't have to follow competitive-level rules. That is good to know. Thank you! You are welcome How does the game end? Check mate ends the game, when the king cannot escape
