I support !! beyond the traditional lines, its quite interesting to play when you are different positions then a conventional starting lineup. The fact, you start from possibly a middle game, makes your mind, ponder ever than before, and startize quickly. iam sure a lot of experienced players would like to play this. I request RHP to allow " Starting from ANY position" tournaments, if sufficient players ( atleast 8 are available).
Originally posted by @bigdoggproblemI support this, even to the point that tournaments should be able to theme after white's first move. The ephemeral "closed or open" notion has value.
Russ, may we please have this?
I run the gambit fantasy club and there are many thematic tourneys we can't run because they're not in the opening book, or because the book forces us several moves further down the line than we prefer.

I just started a Traxler tourney with 5.Nxf7 Bxf2+, which is not in the opening book. We'll see how it goes.
