!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Well, balance is quite a bit easier if everything is a mirror match. And they still fucked it up, white has the starting advantage.

Nah, staring position is zugzwang, black gets to capitalise on whites blunder in the opening.

Having your opponent make the first move can absolutely be an advantage since it hints to the strategy they're going with.

I typically choose black for that reason.
