user24309: Would it be good a chess variant if Black makes the first move instead of White? Notations will change, of course.
For example, since Black makes the first move with a king's pawn push of two steps, and White responding with a king's pawn push of two steps, it will become "1. e5 e4".

user3884: It would be identical to current chess, except Black would obviously be playing White openings. The only difference is that the board would be inverted across the x axis.
Magnus did this once in a #MoveForEquality.
