I wasn't sure to which forum I should post. I didn't want people to analyse this game beyond (1) identifying / characterizing the opening; (2) describing what lichess was doing accidentally or deliberately.
My regular chess partner, in our most recent game (lichess.org/qlxhcaal/black), has opened with g3. In "replay and analyse" mode, lichess tells me that this is the "Benko Opening". I looked up "Benko Opening" - apparently it enables fianchettoing the bishop. Now, in this 960 game, the bishop started out on h1 - perhaps pre-fianchettoed :-)
Has our game been accidentally appropriately named?
Are 960 openings (apart from those for the most common start position) named? If so, has lichess in a 960 context correctly named our game.
P.S. I'd like to thank Thibault for something both nice and tenuously related. However, as it might be unintentional, I don't want to name it :-)
