No such option that I'm aware of, but of course you could play "daily" (Erik's newest name for correspondence chess) chess.

Hi there,
I like to use the 5 minute games to practice my openings against human opponents. However, if I want to practice a certain opening, say, playing as Black with the Dutch defence, it becomes frustrating because so many White players start with 1. e4.
Is there an option that allows live chess players the option to find other players that will start with certain openings?
I imagine this would be useful for both sides - people who want to practice their Caro-Kann can be paired together, as can people who want to practice their Queens Gambit Declined, etc. etc. without having to also go through lots of other games that aren't what they want to practice at that time.
