White/Black proportion I notice from my statistics that I have played 37% of my games as White, and 62% as Black. (Yes, I know about the rounding anomaly). Do you know of anyone on GK with a higher proportion of games as Black?
I'd like to think this explains why my rating has fallen so low. Unfortunately, I think there's a more important reason. :(

NO MATTER It doesn't matter whether you play black or white. It will only make a difference once you are playing at ELO ratings in excess of 1900 or there abouts,

Well, only 43% of my games have been from the black side (23 white, 18 black), but that % can change dramatically after a few more turns as black. Of course, the only explanation for some having more games as black is others having more games as white: e.g. gm_stefan has 63% as white (192 white, 92 black)!

... I have a higher percentage in black games just because I feel it's a courtesy to challenge a new opponent giving them the white side.
