A new feature of FIDE website:http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=4101588:

Color Percentage:

White : Win: 52% *Draw: 22% *Loss: 26%
Black : Win: 0% *Draw: 46% *Loss: 54%

Statistics are valid for the tournaments submitted with color
information after January 2007.

0 wins with Black? Shocking!

* How can White have lost 26% of these games, yet Black has won 0%?
And White has drawn 22%, but Black drew 46%?? Who was White playing
against -- Beige? Pink? Chartreuse? With whom did Black draw --
Magenta? Puce? Teal?

Oh, Taylor. Say he played 100 games as White, and won 52 of them, drew
22 of them, and lost 26 of them. That would mean that he won 52% of
his games with White, drew 22%, and lost 26%.
Similarly, say he played 100 games as Black, and drew 46 of them, and
lost 54 of them. You see where we go with this...

* He who? The page the link takes me to doesn't say. I had thought the
percentages referred to the results of a group of players against each
other. But if it refers to just one individual, then I was mistaken
and the stats are plausible.- Hide quoted text -

I certainly read them as referring to one player, namely, Kramnik. If
indeed the stats refer to a group of players, then they are
impossible, of course
