Do you win more as White or Black? Why do you think that is?
I have noticed that my results as White and Black aren't even close, and I'm not sure if it's my opening prep, my mindset, or something else. My win percentage with White is about 15% higher than it is for Black. I checked my games and my win rate against 1.e4 is fine, but I have a bad win rate against 1.d4. This surprised me, because I thought my KID was pretty solid. I guess it isn't lol.๐Ÿคฃ If anyone wants to compare patterns or look at stats together, Iโ€™m happy to dig into it with you.

i win more games as black. 48 and 52 winrates. i guess its because at my rating range (1200 rapid) folks dont prepare stuff against czech pirc defence

@Andrew Unthank i cant say much unless you give me a rating range to comment on but ive heard from coaches that if one is below 2000 elo they can look into tricks and gambits (eric rosen has this tricks and gambits playlist where he explores gambits at every rating range so maybe look into that)
Opening as Black
What's your favorite opening as black and why?
