  Like the author, I want the title of BM. How do I become a BM? I really want to be a BM. I think BMs are the shiznit!

   It's not a opening... I had a good laugh.

  Excellent.

  The writer exhibits a deep understanding of both classical and hypermodern theory, not to mention a natural flair for communicating the most complex of problems to even the most nooby student.

  Perfect ammunition for blitz games.  Highly recommended.

  The Bongcloud Wing Gambit  

  White’s material advantage is too great to overcome.
  In light of this, Black has usually looked elsewhere for an advantage.

  Also  -after losing to this line,Bobby Fischer published “A Bust to the Bongcloud Exchange Variation” in the 1963 issue of High Times,

  It was popular in the Romantic Era of Bongcloud play

  I've heard of masters playing 1. a4 or 1. h4 to make the point that chess isn't about openings. Has anyone heard of a master playing the Bongcloud?

  I am very confused with this approach!!!

  I'm soon going to post a game during I tested this opening and which is obviously going to lead me to a quick defeat. All suggestions will be more than welcomed.

  "I told you not to write the damn thing in VisualBasic"  awesome!!

  I love the style of writing and the phraseology.  "clearly winning", and "has no where else to go".

  ive been taking chess very seriously the last few months playing around the clock sometimes or atleast 10 hours a day. ive just waisted 3 hours copying this into a book without examining to closely at first what i was writing. i could not believe at first id been had and its messed up my chess book. shame aswell cause it looked exciting at first. il be more carefull now to read the reviews before i commit myself. not happy...
