It’s worse than that. In chess white always moves first. How racist is that? LOL

Actually it’s even worse. The advantage of white moving first often gives white, at least among expert players, a winning advantage. Players win far more often as white than they do as black. If that wasn’t bad enough consider the humiliation the black king has to suffer at the hands of white. In a check mate position the black king stands locked in place unable to move, surrounded by white.. and forced to “resign” or get killed by white. I mean the white pieces may as well be standing on the board wearing little hoods. Can you imagine a game like this being invented today ?
