This would be a great tool for teaching at all levels.
Custom Starting Position?

I believe this is already possible for tournaments, it should definately be so for normal games.

Any thoughts on this?
It's number #35 on Erik's Wishlist#4 - Allow for creating your own starting position for games
As you're no doubt aware, we are currently limited to about 1,700 'classical' starting positions, each the result of playing a documented opening, ranging
from A00: Amar gambit
to E99: King's Indian Defense: Orthodox Variation, Classical System Traditional Line
This is likely to be a feature of the proposed 'coaching mode'.
