    Well, balance is quite a bit easier if everything is a mirror match. And they still fucked it up, white has the starting advantage.

      Nah, staring position is zugzwang, black gets to capitalise on whites blunder in the opening.

      Having your opponent make the first move can absolutely be an advantage since it hints to the strategy they’re going with.

      I typically choose black for that reason.
