Hello how may I help you? Hi, I have a question about chess. Sure, I should be able to help with that. What is your question? Which player goes first in chess? Traditionally the white pieces move first Interesting. It is interesting. There have been discussions that it does give an slight advantage to the player playing white That makes sense, it does seem unfair. Yes, but it mostly comes down to strategy Why don't they do a coin toss to see who starts first? I don't make the rules, I just know them! Thank you for your help. You're welcome!
