Sooo frustrating! You post a game in the Horde lobby and somebody accepts the challenge ... you see you're playing as white, which, for anyone who's not an elite Horde player, feels like a disadvantage, but you play anyway ... and surprise surprise, he doesn't play the rematch ... a while later the same guy accepts another challenge ... but quits instantly when he sees he'll have to play as white! WHY? What's the point of building up your rating if it's not a true reflection of your ability??? Sadly, this happens with maybe 3 out of 4 challenges! Seems the only way to get these guys (and you know who you are!) to play as white is to meet them in a tournament ...
Faster time controls... then people want to be white...
You should see how many crazyhouse players run after winning (often by flagging) with white!
