Brainking keeps its stats on games played there over years, (below somewhat
inconsistent as to including a stray 0.1 or not) currently:
Shogi Black 3320, 48.6%  White 3446, 50.4% Draw 67, 1%.
FIDE,  W 47.5%, B 48.3%, Sample > 100,000.
Chinese, Red 49.5, Black 47.6, Sample > 5000.
Maharajah, W 32%, B 60%, Sample > 3000.
Janus, W 50.4%, B 47.4%, Sample > 4000.
Cylinder, W 48.6, B 47.1, > 3000.
Amazon, W 50.4, B 43.9, > 2500.
Fischer Random Chess, W 48.7%, B 46.4%, > 3000.
Knight Relay, W 50.0, B 48.5%,  > 1500.
Grand, W 50.3%, B 47.0%, approx. = 2000.
Capablanca, W 50.8, B 46.0%, approx. = 2000.
Los Alamos, W 49.0, B 45.0, approx. 5000.
That's about half their Chess games.  Maharajah needs 10x10 to win, so
fares badly at Brainking. FIDE Black > White also stands out.
