>>18313623>>a game where white usually wins>>a game where black can only get a tie unless player white is stupidStatistically, in high level chess tournaments white only has a ~55% chance of gaining score (winning or drawing.) Black wins less often, yes, but overall the disadvantage is minimal if you try to force a draw.
This only happens in really high level play, anyway. As you go lower in skill level, it trends towards 50/50.
>> where everybody chooses queens for their pawnsWhy the fuck wouldn't you? Your options are Rook, Bishop, Queen, and Knight. Queen is literally Rook and Bishop in one piece and Knight is rarely more useful than a Queen in getting a checkmate.
