The Advantage White has over Black makes chess unplayable

When will we see power balancing?

As you can see, White has gotten more mean over time. And people wonder why chess is declining!

That's why most modern tournaments use Black and Hispanic pieces now

Definitely a more balanced approach but feels like a waste to discard an entire color like that.

also, the mean rises sharply while the median hasn't even reached pre 2008 levels again.

meaning a sharply increasing distance between high and low wages if my statistics chops aren't completely off.
