black and white

When I play black, I make more mistakes and it is easier to checkmate. I ask this: is the way of playing different between black and white? Do you have to train differently between the two colors ?. Thank you

I'm not an expert but I'll say that the same tactics and principles apply to both sides so technically you shouldn't find it more difficult to play as black. For sure white does have an upper hand in the opening since it is the first to move however this advantage is almost negligible and could be equalised with the right set of counter opening moves played by black.There's no need to 'train differently' however idk if you have noticed that most of the openings black initiates are defenses e.g indian, Sicilian,slav etc due to the fact that they move second. In most cases, white plays more aggressively and gains more space on the chessboard whereas black normally remains more passive. I think learning some counter-attacks/moves from black's point of view would help...

You have to train differently for both sides because for white theres different openings and for black different openings. That awnser is to @campacavalloscacchi and yeah I actually also think that white is better because they get to move first

I think @Tae7 is on point here - the principles and tactics are the same, but as black you're probably going to be on the receiving end of them somewhat more often, because white is more likely to have an active position and an initiative. So if you're not good at spotting your opponent's threats, you're going to get punished more often as black than as white.

Side point - I notice that you play almost exclusively bullet. If you want to learn to make fewer mistakes, it might be worth playing more games at slower time controls where you can actually practice thinking through this stuff at a more explicit level.

black has a disadvantage, yes. there however are not different playing styles other than the opening that I know of

thanks everyone for the tips. good idea to study the main defenses for black. I move too much by intuition, certainly wrong.

There's around a 21-19 win-rate for white, it shouldn't matter but it depends on what opening theory etc you stuidied.
being black should not matter if you've studied the openings good enough. white tends to have more wins just because they can force a move into a opening they're more comfortable with.

By the way, you shouldn't just pick 1 over the other its good to know what the other side is gonna play

and you are correct bot account but white has a advantage

´#9 i think we’ve all established that...
