What is your definition of a Bongcloud game ??

I mean it’s mainly a meme opening. Although the one game I played the bongcloud on another chess website I won so :/

well, it technically has a 100% draw rate in professional tournaments ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Bongcloud is the single best opening in chess.com. I have an incredibly good record with it. The active king gives White a huge advantage, though engines fail to see this because their programmers mistakenly believe that king activity is a bad thing.

Out of curiosity what is that incredibly good record?

I have a much better than average record of games playing the bongcloud when compared to active bongcloud players.  I've never lost or drawn with it and thus have a perfect 0+  0-  0=  record.

It's something like 10-1...

That explains why I didn't quickly see it among your 4184 blitz games and 98 rapid games.

It gets mated quickly, or at best gets position tangled in a mess. Also you haven't commented on this because the side of you that KNOWS this opening sucks has taken over... until now

Is that even a question? It is the best opening to ever exist!

Oh no don't do this. Play 2.Bf4 or 2.Bc4 to it your name, or better yet 2. Nf or c3

1e4-2Nf3isbest

Notes: It was a solid draw, I was barely winning... until I forgot the A pawn. You know what? Forget this sh%@. I'm unfollowing

There are many 12 year olds that can destroy you in chess.  

That has nothing to do with the original post.

I think the point is that you'd have to take a bong rip to think it's a good idea, so no it isn't.
