Towards marginalizing the Home-Field Advantage, White should not always Move, or Pitch, first. Or, Jeers and Cheers unfairly influence outcomes. (Realize that Chess is far more International than major league baseball will ever be.) To move first, White must compensate. (gggg) White moves first. Who else? Beforehand, White chooses and implements any one of (1) removing one Pawn from White array; (2) converting one Black Knight and one Black Bishop both to become Half-Ducks (Alfil + Dabbabah + Trebouchet(0,3)) the duration; or (3) replacing one Black Rook with second Cardinal(BN), like Janus Chess, and removing one Black Pawn. (hhhh) 'gggg' except also White may ''pass,'' thereby requiring Visitor Black to select any of (1-prime) as above for Black rather than White; (2-prime) as above affecting White pieces not Black; or (3-prime) as above for White piece; and then Black moves first. /// If effects entirely shift things to Black's moving first, further fine-tuning is possible. Granted, 'gggg' and 'hhhh' may only enlarge the asymmetry created by Home-Crowd bias. Face it, moving or pitching first awakens one baffling asymmetry of ethical dimension. The minimal appropriate counter-measure to balance is sought. Please enter any other good alternative equaliser(s), specifying 9-square or 8-square: ___________________________________.
