If you don't resign, so be it - life isn't always fair

I wondered if the system lets you go first in half the games you initiate or if it's random so that you could get a streak of games where you go second if others are filling the pipe with requests before you ask for a game.

Either way - each board has quite a few pieces, so these stalemates can't happen at the beginning so I'm leaning towards being fine leaving the advantage to the one with enough wits in the bank to reach a threshold that's high enough.
