I am curious about other’s experiences. To date, I have a 71% win-rate with white and a 48% win-rate with black.
I know White is advantaged, but is that a normal spread for most players?
Also, for chess.com ELO, from what I can tell, it does not take into account piece color. That is, if I face another 1170 player, I will get +8 on a win, +0 on a draw, and -8 on a loss regardless of my assigned color.

Don´t know if that spread is normal or not.
BUT I can say I have a very similar spread as you, and a 48% win-rate with black.
I don´t think there should be any splits in ELO ratings for different colors… Chess com does set you up with 50/50 games of white / black pieces, so there is therefore balance in the ELO rating.

Yeah, I usually hover around the same figures. Tbh I think the advantage of white is the main reason. Also, the Stonewall is a very dynamic opening that challenges players around 1000 ELO!
