Emne: Re: Random colors?

pedestrian: 10% is still a relatively high probability. It means that one out of every 10 Brainking users will get such an unequal distribution or worse. You were just unlucky.

As for the other question, yes, you can delete any game (non-tournament) within the first 2 moves, and it won't count for rating or statistics.

lukulus: Actually, white does have an advantage in Knight Fight due to starting the game. If black ends up unable to move, white will benefit from an extra move, which can mean up to an extra 99 points. Also because of starting, white always has first choice over which squares to delete. After several games that starts biasing the results a little in white's favor.

Emne: Re: Random colors?

Roberto Silva: In Knight Fight, I agree with lukulus - I would much rather be black.

With black, you can choose to start on the same color as White, which you can then limit the moves of white and "protect" spaces of high value and if you plan well, can then send them to a very low number and mess up their plan completely.

Since most players don't know of this "advantage" of being black & starting on the same color space, if I'm white - I will look on the opponents side of the board - find the highest value space, see what color it starts on - and then myself start on the opposet color, even if it's of lower value

Of course if you get 2 players who do little planning and just jump around until the end, then White might have the advantage of an extra move at the end - but I would still prefer to play as black.
