Hi,

Recently I'm being creating online games with an starting position. It's very helpful 'casue I can practice my favorite openings.

Even that, I have had a problem with Alekhine Hunt variation starting position, because this position wasn't the one I expected. When I found out this, I started to investigate a little bit on internet and I discovered that there is some confusion about this opening.

The variation I (me and the books I have about the subject) consider as Hunt variation is the one that goes: 1. e4 Cf6 2. e5 Cd5 3. c4 Cb6 4. c5 Cd5 5.Cc3 e6 6. Ac4. In fact, the position you present as Hunt Variation is a rather losing one.

I suggest you to change it, but anyway, thank you for such an exciting feature (the starting position one).
