The first-move advantage in chess is the inherent advantage of the player (called White) who makes the first move in chess. Chess players and theorists generally agree that White begins the game with some advantage. Statistics compiled since 1851 support this view, showing that White consistently wins slightly more often than Black, scoring between 52 and 56 percent. White's winning percentage[1] is about the same for tournament games between humans and games between computers. However, White's advantage is less in rapid games and in games between weaker players. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-move_advantage_in_chessQ: what is the % on Stans?
