A White–Black score gap is a study prompt, not a verdict

Scoring 58% as White and 39% as Black across 90 games is worth looking at. It is not proof you “cannot play Black.”

Treat a colour gap as a prompt: which Black openings do you actually reach, and which first decision is leaking? Do not start a new 1…e5 course because a headline said you are worse with Black.

Need a sample, then a tree

Five Black games is enough to say the slice exists. It is not enough to change a repertoire. Get to a repeated position before you swap a move.

Chessigma will name the colour split when it clears the baseline. The useful next click is the opening inside that colour, then the fork.

Opponent pool still confounds it

A month of arena pairings or a rating jump can move a colour number without any new habit. Compare recent games to recent games.

The product does not adjust for opponent rating. Use the gap to open those games, not to retire a colour.

Frequently asked questions

Is 6 points across 90 games a lot?

It is large enough to look. It is not large enough to panic.

Can I hide one colour?

You can mentally ignore it. The import still stores both.
