Is 'Horde' a fair variant?

but white does have an advantage. I rest my case

you can't ever have a 'perfectly fair' game if someone goes first..

#12 football penalty shootouts are fair. I (once again) rest and close my case. Just saying.

#13 lol i don't know, maybe in an ideal world.
check it: '...the data indicates that the team that shoots first has a 60% chance of winning the penalty shootout' -from the below link
'Penalty kick shootouts and the importance of shooting first.' (actually a good read, by the professor who wrote soccernomics)

if it's done blindfold, it's fair.
Case rested, closed and won.

#1 Doesn't matter if it's fair or not. Other variants too might appear to be more in favor of white (atomic, anti-chess). It is found enjoyable by many so it deserves to remain, because that's what mainly counts.

Agreed.
