Openings transpose all the time... for example with 1.c5 you may call it an english but it can transpose to just about any 1.d4 opening (at least one 1.e4 opening) and tons of 1.e4 openings reversed. An opening name is like an imaginative ECO code. When looking up a game it's only important what line the opening ends up being, not the transpositions that took place somewhere along the line.
That said, I think it's stupid to name an opening on the first move. 1.Nf3 isn't an opening for another ____ # of moves. What I mean is, in a tournament you wouldn't play 1.Nf3 and immediately write "A04" or "Zukertort" on your score sheet would you lol.
I'm curious about the apparent inability of Game Explorer to Juxtapose between openings.
Also, wouldn't it be nice to see the name of the opening as a Online Game progresses?
Eg.
1.Nf3
(A04: Zukertort Opening displays)
1.Nf3, c5
(A04: Zukertort Opening: Sicilian Invitation displays)
2.e4,
(B27: Sicilian Defense: Misc, Defenses displays).
* Note - Game Explorer seems to be deficient at 2.e4 as it does not display the name of this transposition after following said line.
Does the name tree for Game Explorer ignores positionality & focussing only on lines?
