i'm having a hard time lately deciding on a good option to use against e4..... which is weird because you usually see that move when you play the black pieces. i've tried practically everything you can think of. sicilian caro-kann pirc alekhine french regular e5 variations. right now i play alekhine and french, but especially against higher rated opponents i feel i am not a strong player with the black pieces.

Even if nobody had ever scientifically proven that in chess white had the advantage over black due to the right to make the first move, statistics shows that in matches between 2 highly rated players, white do have more probability to win.
The more expert the player, the more significant the value of even the slightest advantage against opponent.
As far as the outcome is concerned, I prefer White. My statistics playing with Chessmaster 2000 had shown that the outcomes were better with white.
In GK mostly I played with black. That is because I don't want to pick white when I challenge people. I will already be gratefull if higher rated player accept my challenge.

Vladimir Kramnik regains top form — Former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik of Russia won the Tal Memorial in Moscow by scoring an undefeated 6-3. The round robin featured 10 of the world's top 13 chess stars. Kramnik, in his prime at age 34, seems fully recovered from losing the 2008 world championship match to Viswanathan Anand of India. He also won his previous elite chess tournament in Dortmund, Germany, in July. In Moscow, Kramnik reached "+3" after six rounds, and only Anand, who was "+2," remained close. However, Anand lost in the last round to Levon Aronian of Armenia and fell to a tie for fourth place with Aronian at 5-4. Magnus Carlsen of Norway and Vassily Ivanchuk ...

Defence, part 1: How does Black fight back? — Svidler-Jobava, European team chess championship, 2009. Black, to move, is under attack. How does he save himself? Our theme over the next few columns is defence – hardly a glamorous subject, and little discussed, but of course vital in chess. White has just played his knight into the middle of the board, heading towards Black's king, and the rook and the queen are also in powerful attacking positions. What does Black have in his favour? Not much. But he does have a material advantage, rook for knight and an extra pawn. This gives him a little hope: if Black survives the attack, he could find himself with a winning position. So let's concentrate on survival. First we ...

Kramnik triumphant in Moscow — Former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik won the flu-stricken Tal Memorial on Saturday. Playing more deliberately and sharply, the Russian grandmaster reinvented himself. He did not mind dwelling in complications and kept his cool in difficult situations. He withstood the last-round charge of Ukraine's Vassily Ivanchuk, last year's winner of the same chess event. Magnus Carlsen sneaked in a tie for second place by winning the last two games. The Norwegian grandmaster gained enough rating points to move into the world's top spot. The world chess champion Vishy Anand of India had a chance to tie for first with Kramnik, but lost in the last round with the white pieces to ...

French chess star wins world junior — Maxime Vachier-Lagrave of France edged Sergei Zhigalko of Belarus to win the World Junior Chess Championship in Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Each scored an undefeated 10 1/2 -2 1/2 in the 82-player tournament, the most prestigious age-limited chess event. Only players born in 1989 or later were eligible. Vachier-Lagrave, 19, earned the chess grandmaster title in 2005 and won the French championship in 2007. He entered the tournament as the top seed with a rating of 2718 (23rd in the world), but his triumph was hardly guaranteed in an upset-filled melee that included 16 other grandmasters, including six rated above 2600. Zhigalko, 20, was seeded third ...

it seem that most of my game are play as black. I rarely get a chance to play as white. I think playing black is more challenging and rewarding because in the openning you are in effect trying to develop and catch up to white and equalize the position for the middle game.
I think the openning is very critical to the middle game. without good position in the openning the middle game will be lost unless your opponent blunders. I think most of my black win I obtained was from weak moves or blunders by white not because I was ahead in material or have a great mind for combination(Which I wish I have). :)

Flu virus keeps competitors in check at Tal Memorial — Ten of the world elite are competing at Moscow's Tal Memorial, which ends today and is one of the strongest tournaments in chess history. But the winner in the chess event's first half was a flu virus which affected several grandmasters and encouraged a minimalist, cautious approach. Ukraine's Vasily Ivanchuk wore a face mask, and a high 80 per cent of the first five round games were drawn. The sickest chess player was Magnus Carlsen, 19, who had trained beforehand with Garry Kasparov and was expected to unleash some opening bombs in his campaign to become world No 1. But Norway's golden teen was close to defeat against Vlad Kramnik in the opening round and then ...

matter if your black or white. In the words of M. Jackson. Well he brought a chess set on the documentary, so that must be what he was talking about.
