Learn to play black

So many incomplete players on this site thinking they’re all tough when they only play white. Those who play white in the first game and don’t accept a rematch should be banned.

I have never seen a player abort just because they have The Black Pieces.
Benefits for Black:
On Lichess, if you win/draw/lose as Black, you gain more rating when you win and lose less rating when you lose
Black has many nice solid openings, sometimes Black even has the slight edge
Black and White are equal, that's why engine evaluation bar is around 0.0, so your chance of winning for both sides is around the same

Adolpho1901 doing this literally right now. Played as white and rejects the second half of the match. It happens all the time on this board.
