Hello how may I help you? I would like to know who goes first in a game of chess White traditionally moves first in chess Is there a time where black goes first? traditionally, no.. What are some non traditionally rules that determine who goes first in chess? If both players agree to black going first, then it can be done but the first player to play has an uneven advantage I understand now Yes, usually it it is white Thank you for helping me that is all i needed you are welcome
