Hey, I forgot who, but someone had posted in the site ideas forum
about having a thematic tourney where the theme changed every
round. I figured this might level the playing ground a bit since
thematic tourneys are unbanded, and at the same time it would give
everyone a variety. Anyone else feel interested?

As long as they might be banded, I like them all...!

That was me, it didn't get a resounding response though. 🙁

It sounds amusing. While it would certainly be fun, who chooses which themes are valid for the tourney? While the Roy Lopez, French defense, Queens Indian etc. would all be great, I would almost consider it unfair to toss in a grob or latvian due to the dubious-ness of those openings. Then again since you get to play both sides of the opening, I suppose that would be fine too.
