I would Like to announce the creation of the First Official Bongcloud Championship
Before I continue with rules, and sign up list, I will say that the authority of this actualy belongs to the Bongcloud Society which I am a member of.
Rules
1. A standard Bongcloud Opening must be used, see Conquistador's Bongcloud Opening Book for a list, or one must have his/her King developed by move 8.
2. Please move your King often enough so that it is clear that your intention is to make it to the other side.
3. Post finnished Games Here.
4. Be good sports, no cheeting, don't use Pocketcloud 2.0bc, Kingspeak, or other Bongcloud engines.
5. The pairs will play a 2 game match, if tied, then there will be a tiebreak, switching colors until the tie is broken
6. each person in a pair will play a game as white and black
7. Lenny Bongcloud is technicaly the champion, but he is just like Morphy, he retired while on top, allowing us to host this.
8. Checkmate is a LOSS for the Checkmating player.
9. Most important Rule, The games will be unrated. And, The First player to get his/her King to the Other side first wins.
Sign ups.

im in. are there really bongcloud engines? haha
HessianWarrior
1. A standard Bongcloud Opening must be used, see Conquistador's Bongcloud Opening Book for a list.
2. Make it noticeable that your goal is to get your King to the other side, not just march him accross in an endgame, use him durring the entire match

Sign me up!
oh, and once all the spots are filled up, I will announce the pairings, Drawn from a hat, all white players first, then all black. After that, The player playing as WHITE will send a challange, just make sure you mark it as a Bongcloud Championship game. And report anyone not using a listed variation.

I'll play. There has already been a bongcloud though. People here have played in them
xiko92
count me in... but I don't know how you are going to make this championship, since in chess.com, to reach the other side with the king is not considered a win.
I will advance the person manualy, because it won't use the tournoment feature.
Ah! It doesn''t say I can't mate! Win for me! His King is forced to stop moving while mine goes past! Mwahhaah!
http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/bongcloud-invitational There we go! That's the link.
I loved that one! Thank you good sir! For bringing the best opening ever back to life! Many consider it an underhand trick and call it "bad". I applaud you for your wisdom!
well that is of cource a stipulation Jerry, nice try though, I am thinking that it should be a draw, because the only way for the player to make it to the other side first is to checkmate the opponent. which is a loss under the current rules.
Arctor
You guys are stupid
If some one can post the remaining BCO variaitons in a game diagram, that would be helpful for those who can't read algebraic notation
so... are you goona add my variation?
