When I in a new challenge enter that I want to play as black, the challenge shown in “my games” says “you play as white”. I do not yet know if I will become black or white. Time will tell.
Hah, you are correct.
It’s just the display on the main screen that is messed up, if you set that you play as black it’ll work as intended and you’ll get black for the game - I’ll fix up the display on the home screen shortly though for sure 
Thanks for the report!
