Its certainly peak sweatiness, but its not unbalanced.
It’s quite unbalanced tbh. Really both players should move simultaneously instead of giving one player the advantage of going first
You may already know this but for those that don't there is a common idea that blacks initial goal is to draw rather then win.
Damn you are right, i didnt know it was this bad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-move_advantage_in_chess#Winning_percentages
That's not first move advantage, that's racism.
Gotta keep the black side down, so they declare a "white advantage", and skew the results to make themselves out as the "winning side".
