although I think this site has more gentlemen than say for instance chess.com I still see many ungentlemanly behaviours by not offering the opponent white in the second game. sad to see even top-rated players do this. you are only bluffing yourself if you play your majority games as white because in the real world it's 50/50. So if you are one that does this ungentlemanly behaviour, your rating is less than you think. The ideal challenge is 2 games each player white and each player black. I'm considering to start blocking these players because I don't want to play cheaters. One good thing at least is that there are very few verbal abusers, and that is a sign of good quality players.
