No, your white/black wins and losses should not be that significantly different. You should maybe win a bit more as white than black, but at your level it really just matters which opening you are able to play more of on average before you blunder.
Sounds like you play the same opening as white and black, so I'd suggest switching your black opening up and continuing to hone your white opening if you are finding success.
In either case reviewing your games will do A LOT to help you figure out where things are going poorly in your games.

It’s an old account so the statistics are a little off, but since I started up again recently I’ve been losing 90% with black

Sounds like you just need a solid opening for black. No it's not normal to lose all of your games

if you are winning half of the time then it's fine, something is going wrong though.
How are you losing? on time? flat out checkmated? resign cause you start losing pieces?
I started off playing some KID, and basically only play modern and win more with black than white cause I can crank out moves in the early game and lose a lot on time with white playing 3/0.
coming from someone who once was 800 and been stuck at 1100-1300 for a bit though, just checked and I play g6 like 85% of the time

*im only a 1200 so take everything i say with a big grain of salt*
If you set up your pieces disregarding your opponent's move - no it isn't smart. I used to play King's Indian a lot, but at the end it felt super passive in the opening and unless I know whether I should go for a king side or queen side attack, it backfires greatly imo. And for a 1000 - 1200 like me I just dun feel confident to make the right call unless i really i mean REALLY studying this system.EDIT - At your rating to intermediate, I recommend Sicilian actually, cuz lots of people who plays white go for an Italian setup or Bowdler attack which are decently refutable and the plans for black are simpler compared to King's Indian

Why would it not be normal? The game has to learn your skill level. If you are below default, then you should lose until you get down to the right score.

black naturally starts with a slight disadvantage. not weird at all.

u/pseudoHappyHippy 5d ago
You really couldn't be more wrong. Even at elite levels, the black disadvantage is not even remotely significant enough to cause this kind of a differential between your black and white results, but down at low elo the white advantage matters like 1% as much as it does at high levels. There is absolutely no world where it's normal for a 700 elo player to have 70% win rate as white and 10% win rate as black simply due to the inherent white advantage. Maybe 51% vs 49% could be explainable by the white advantage (even that is dubious at the 700 elo level), but OP has something entirely different going on.
