It has been a couple of years now since the US Chess has been collecting color data on rated games. So it is starting to get to the point where one can glean some totally meaningless connections with it.
My Data for example:

It looks like about 2/3 of the events are being uploaded/entered with color information these days. We discovered recetly that for some reason, color information wasn’t included in a number of recent national events including the 2017 US Open and SuperNationals VI crosstables, not sure why. The 2017 US Open has been re-posted with color information.
Too bad we don’t ask for other demographic information, it’d be interesting to know how many left-handed players we have. There was a study published years ago, among top world-class players somewhere around 25% of them were left-handed, I think that in the general population only about 16% of people are left-handed.
C’mon, reaching a certain level of chess prowess is a definitive sign of intelligence. Many chess-players would say that going over that level doesn’t indicate any greater intelligence but reaching that level is the mark of intelligence.
Note that the definition of that level does seem to vary from player to player and is commonly about 50-100 points below a player’s current rating. That is an amazing coincidence and just shows how intelligent the players are
