I would like to see a drunken king tournament that actually started out as the drunken king.

I'd be interested in an Albin Countergambit thematic tournament.

1. d4 d5
2. c4 e5!?

How about an Open Ruy Lopez or Exchange Ruy Lopez? I could really use more experience.

Anyone else notice the image they have has Nf3 instead of Nc3? Very disturbing as g4 then makes absolutely no sense.

LOL. I saw that, and, not knowing this line, thought that was correct, with the idea to play Rg1 after Bxg4. 🙄

Yes I noticed this immediately and feedback has already been sent.

How about the Octagon?

1.c3 c6 2.f3 f6 3.Kf2 Kf7 3.Ke3 Ke6 4.Kd4

Invalid FEN inserted - /rnbq1bnr/pp1pp1pp/2p1kp2/8/3K4/2P2P2/PP1PP1PP/RNBQ1BNR/

I guess I should admit that I just now made this opening up.
