Congratulations!
Good idea to check occasionally to see if there's any improvement.

Playing white: won 1378-drawn 257-lost 979

Playing black: won 948-drawn 207-lost 745

50.6 for me

Mine is pretty close to the average: 53.2

Hmm I haven't really played a lot but here's mine anyhow:

White: Played 2, Won 1, Lost 1.

Black: Played 7, Won 5, Lost 2.

I think it's fairly obvious I play better with Black.

Hmmm...

Score = 100* WS/(WS+BS),

Score = 100 x 0.5/(0.5+0.72) = about 40.9%. No surprise. It'll get more even after I play a few White games :p.

This thread is over a year old now.

But my score hasn't changed much, 50.5% compared to 50.4% a year ago.

My suggestion would be to change your opening for White.

Or simply play more games with white. I had the opposite problem, so I forced myself to play more with black, and I gradually got more comfortable with it.
