Frustration creating thematic tourneys
20 Jul '16 17:51As the new leader of the Gambit Fantasy Club, I am experiencing some frustration in the limitations on creating thematic tourneys.
A club member - greenpawn34 - asked me to create a tourney starting with 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nd4 4.Nxe5 Qg5 5.O-O Qxe5 6.c3.
Imagine my surprise when I tried to create a tourney and, after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4, the only option for the Blackburne Shilling Gambit goes straight to checkmate: 3...Nd4 4.Nxe5 Qg5 5.Nxf7 Qxg2 6.Rf1 Qxe4+ 7.Be2 Nf3#.
The RHP setup is such that I cannot go only part of the way in to a book line. That is most unfortunate.
