thematic tournament means everyone plays the same opening sequence, yes? do we know what the opening is for the tournament?

Jim,

All the games in the Thematic Tournament will start with the same position & that opening or variation is to be determined. Do you have any suggestions?

I'll make a post on the subject in the next day or two.

Joe,

I've forwarded the corrected score to Geoff. Thanks for posting it.

Actually, we discussed 4 rounds at G/15 in the theme tournament this year. We did do G/30 last year, but just got lucky in selecting a clear winner. 4 rounds will work better.

I suggest the Urusov Gambit, as in the famous Dimock Theme Tournament of 1924.
