In chess, white moves first. The Washington Post recently published an article on the popularity of chess playing among African Americans in the District. Their comment on the advantage given to "white":
"You have got to take the initiative, no matter that someone else has it first." "All that ‘white moves first, white people do this and white people do that‘--is only an excuse, and if you give a chess player an excuse, they are more likely to fail. That’s the same in life."
