Hi, even I am extremely unlucky (or lucky), or there is a bug in the board, because of about 20 games I played against bots in [Chess.com](http://Chess.com) menu, when selecting what color of pieces I want, if I choose random, every time I play with black, not once it selected white. There is 1 in 524,288 chance of this occuring, so Im leaning towards it being a bug.
