I'm currently in a tournament and I have no idea what the opening is.

The opening diagram is there but there is nothing to say what it's called. Perhaps it would be a good idea to at least include the name of the opening with the board position? Maybe even a link to the games explorer?

Here's the tournament

I guess some sort of KID, but that much is probably obvious. It's too theory intensive for me to remember all of the names off-hand. You're a premium member, why don't you just punch the moves in a logical order (d4, Nf6, c4, g6, etc.). If it's a well-founded opening, then the options on the explorer will become more narrow, anyway.

Yes. This is a KID. I suppose it was reached by 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0 Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 9.Be3 Nd7 10.Ne1. This is a typical KID.

That being said, I have no idea what type of KID it is. But, i'm a premium member.

Thanks for the info guys - I was able to track the opening down myself.

But my point is - why should I have to search for it?

Why wouldn't the information about the opening be contained within the tournament information? As in name and move list as a minimum?

Even better - a link to the appropriate game explorer setup?
