No, there is nothing wrong. Remember Win/lose percentages for a tournament are
determined by the strenght of the players involved - or more precise, their
performance in each game, not by statistics.
Don't be misled by general chess statistics. I you have Kasparov in your
tournament, he will win a whole lot of games with black.
