Creating a game by position

Use board editor or analysis board from tools menu, then press continue from here (on analysis you need to click the menu-button next to movehistory-arrows first)
yeah, thx, but is just possible to continue against a friend or a machine...
I think it has always been like that, it would be to confusing trying to present the position in the seek-list. Custom tournaments can be created for certain openings.
zerdax do you after a game or just a random position you set up?

if you mean after a game you can anylyse this with engine you just have to put it on...
I think it would be a great feature to have a section "Thematic seeks".

Lichess as it is right now, would allow to make it quite practical, since one could just see the Position by hovering the seek.

I would just love to play the openings I want instead of dealing with certain openings that bore me due to its frequency played.

As I am not playing for rating at all, but for games that I do enjoy, a feature like that would reduce the games that I finish just cause I try to stay polite, instead of just leaving/resigning from 90% to almost Zero.

For example I would guess I have to face a hundred Bowlder Attacks till someone plays the Morra Gambit against me. To me, in a way that is just a waste of time, since I am way more happy to face a opening that I find interesting, than to win the game in the end.
