hey guys, what is the bongcloud? i haven't heard of that opening before. How does it go?

You should try reading? 1.e4 e5 2.Ke2 is the bongcloud. Basically, White's king gets high and wanders around.

sounds crazy. would work in a one minute game though. i saw someone open with f3, then run their king to the queen side, IN FRONT of all the pawns, hid it on the queenside, and won a bunch. they played like 40 1 min games, and the dude who opened with f3 won almost all of them. 

thanks for the opening sequence

Yeah, me too. Step by step reading commentaries and always white is losing one of his pieces but somehow black is getting his position worse and worse. lol still laughing at this thing. Thanks to helltank! it made my day, seriously! :))))))))

Seriously! Thank you LMFAO! "He will not take my bishop!"

Also of vital importance is the goal of getting the white king to the 8th row before being checkmated.
