Hello how may I help you? I have a question about the game of chess I can clarify rules for you. What would you like to know about chess? It's been awhile since I played who goes first? Traditionally, the player using white chess pieces goes first. Is it a big advantage to go first? There is a debate that going first is an uneven advantage for the player that chooses white. They must be worried about who gets to decide to be white According to games.com, the player that goes first, wins 54% of the chess games played. Oh that's fascinating thanks a lot for that info! You are welcome. Enjoy your day!
