Default Determinig colours

An intereting way of determing who is white in the first game of the
Kramnik-Leko match.

"Peter Leko will start the the game one with white. A two minute blitz game
was held between two players to decide who would get white in game one. That
blitz game was played under different rules. Adriana Madeira a
representative of the Ticino region selected the f5 square, under the rules
the first player to place a piece on f5 will start with white in the first
game of the World Chess Championship.

Dance like the teardrop explodes.
Love like you're Frank in Blue Velvet.
Sing as though your little throat would burst.
