How difficult for black are Fischer Random starting positions?

@justiniano565 said ^

Do you mean if I would calculate expected results with glicko formula instead elo ? I don't think so. It would be possible that some positions may change a little their position in the arrangement, but if ranking is the same both formulae must give EW=0,5. I do not give white and black elos to do not inflate too much the blog with data , but I can tell you that their difference were very low specially in databases with many games, I needed to work with many decimals.

In any case it can be interesting to do to recalculate EW to know what happens.

okay, thanks.
