Please end the sentence the other way

Tomorrow, on the 18 May, the sixth game of the match will be played with Boris Gelfand having the white colour.

I think the context is not of much importance.It's about the world chess championship taking place these days.

Could you change the part with Boris Gelfand having the white colour not loosing the meaning.

Is it correct to say where Boris Gelfand is going to have the white colour or where Boris Gelfand is to have the white colour.

Actually I want to clarify this type of contraction too.I suppose that the sentence can be:
... with petar petrovich being the main chairman    or
... with the audience not having access to the playing stage or
... with the weather being fine.

The context is important, otherwise most people would not know what the sentence means (I initially thought it was some kind of sporting event, as I don't follow chess) - presumably the sentence would not appear in isolation, so that there will be context. )

This would typically said something like: "Tomorrow, May 18, the sixth game of the match will be played, with Boris Gelfand playing white."
