O čem je toďten plk: black wins?

Is black at such a disadvantage that a draw could be considered a win for black? Some Pente rules allow for the player going 2nd to record a win if the board becomes filled because going 2nd places them at such a huge disadvantage (with no move restrictions) Why not apply this rule to this game?

If you checkout the Horde Chess rules section you will see that there has only been 12 draws from nearly 500 games, about 2.5%, whereas black has won about 25% and white the rest. This would not have a dramatic effect on the balance.

I guess I am a bit of a bunny as I have played 17 games with only 3 as white, but I (he says puffing out his chest) won 8 and only lost 6 of the black games, a little better than the average stats.

Perhaps another option is that this variant is only ever played in pairs of games. Maharajah Chess is even more one sided as black can force mate from the first move.

The 2 games I posted, I posted as 2 game matches. I don't think I'd ever post a single game...then of course a win (white) draw (black) results in a win overall. I'll admit...I did not notice that there had only been 12 draws, so I see that this change would have very little effect.
