It's for the Semi-Slav, 1.d4...d5 2.c4...c6 3.Nc3...Nf6 4.Nf3...e6 5.Bg5 (other move orders possible).

Maybe not a big deal, but you're missing the halfmove clock and fullmove numbers. So,

rnbqkb1r/pp3ppp/2p1pn2/3p2B1/2PP4/2N2N2/PP2PPPP/R2QKB1R b KQkq - 1 5

Thanks, EscherehcsE. Nice palindromic handle btw. Have you read Hofstadter's book, by any chance?

Also, it's the Semi-Slav, Anti-Meran Gambit. I meant to put that in the OP.

The FEN I posted in the OP was generated by the Lichess board editor.

I bought a used copy but haven't read it yet. One of these days when I have lots of spare time...

All this was in aid of setting up a tournament, which I have now been able to do, thanks to s'EscherehcsE's input.

All welcome. Hope to see you there.

I read it years ago, but I would like to read it again some day. I think I'm better equipped to understand more of it now.
