White/Black doesn't necessarily mean much when the openings are balloted as in TCEC. For instance, in Houdini's games in Division 1, I think 4 of the 7 chosen openings gave a Black edge.

It was a nice game, as Rybka was up 3 pawns at one point, and the queens were gone to boot, but Houdini had all the development (and the bishop pair), allowing a piece to be won, and then it wasn't too difficult.

While I know you dislike the openings used in previous events, the new opening PGN is used now.
As you can see Rybka thought white had a pleasant advantage out of book, but that didn't help as Houdini outplayed Rybka.

1. I am very disappointed that you collaborate with such people!
2. I was hoping (they were writing something to that effect...) they would put the pgn in a more friendly form (ala ChessBase!)

I am not sure I am following you, who am I "collaborating" with exactly?

Chessbombers got to eat, too? What's the problem? No one is forcing you to download pgn files from them.
