In the past I haven't been able to create custom thematic tournaments, and then for a brief time I was, before then the reverting to the scenario described below. My latest attempt is this. A Pseudo Benoni

rnbqkb1r/pp1ppppp/5n2/2p5/3P4/5N2/PPP1PPPP/RNBQKB1R w KQkq c6

I have entered all the parameters, but the 'create' button doesn't illuminated to enable entering. It remains greyed out. I've done lots of head scratching on this. I asked this question a year or two back with no satisfactory answer. Please assist if you KNOW what is wrong or/and what needs to be done. Thanks.

Try:

rnbqkb1r/pp1ppppp/5n2/2p5/3P4/5N2/PPP1PPPP/RNBQKB1R w KQkq c6 0 3

You were missing the last "0 3" which is the half move clock and the whole move number.

You think most people will end up in the Pseudo Benoni/ Benko if you don't include 3 d5? I am not so sure. I think that a lot of games will include 3 c4 or 3 e3.

It seems possible you haven't gone quite far enough. If you want the games to include 3 d5, I think you have to include it.

Yeah, I thought about that. I wanted to give people the chance to 'chicken out' and go into the English or typical lily livered London System stuff :-)
