How difdicult could it be to adjust the algorithm that finds you an opponent so that it givea players the white pieces if your previous game was with the black pieces, and vice versa?
I know that it's 50-50 in the long run, but it's ******* annoying when you have time for 3-4 games, and then it gives you the black pieces every time. And it's SUPER ******* annoying when you get the white pieces, but the opponent abandons tge game before the first move, and then in the next game you get the black pieces. Feels like a big **** *** from the algorithm.
This adjustment should be very easy to implement for any competent developer, so it's hard to see why there couldn't atleast be an optional setting for it.

The more stipulations the pairing algorithm has, the longer it takes to pair members. I don't believe aborted games get reflected in the color tracking being done. In the next game you get the player most due black gets black

That's why it could be an optional setting. Personally I don't mind if the pairing takes slightly longer, if that's the price for this feature.
