First move advantage in Western Chess - why does it exist?[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

The first move advantage (for white) is negligibly small in Marseillais
Chess (balanced).  Since this is aside from the topic at hand ... If you
are interested in the numerical breakdown for the white-black-black-white
turn order, send me a private message (E-mail) and I'll gladly send you my
3-page file (*.pdf).
