I know this is statistically possible, but doesn't it seem fairly >unlikely? Not one win for white, strange. Unlikely indeed, but OTOH the number of games was small. Maybe you'd get only white wins and draws in the next 10 games. In the long run, Black should make ~45%. But for White's advantage: Although it's visible in computerchess, mostly due to the opening books probably, it is more a human thing so to speak. I made an experiment with a huge developement advantage, which no normal book variant could provide: [D]rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/3PP3/2NB1N2/PPPBQPPP/R3K2R b KQkq - 0 7 A chess parody more or less. Still, Black scored 14.5 points from 72 games, including 9 black wins! For example, CT 14 won with black against Shredder 5.32 (but also vice versa), Hiarcs 7.32 won against GT 2.0, etc. So I'm not surprised when a higher number of black wins can occur then and when after normal openings, when even such a position like above is no guarantee for White! :o)) Regards, M.Scheidl
