      Almost certainly for elo play and stuff where people learned all the first 10+ moves of all the viable opening strategies.

      But as a casual player (ok, I was chess club in Jr high if that counts for anything) I always chose to play as black and have always won at least 90% of all my games played. I’d be confused as hell if I played as white, at this point.
