Winning with the Bongcloud - Tenth Anniversary Edition

Ten years ago, I was reading chess.com and came across the Bongcloud Opening, which had been played several times as a joke.  I'd recently read several chess opening manuals and the somewhat ponderous language of those tomes was fresh in my mind.  The combination of humorous commentary on chess.com and the purple language of chess books gave me an idea to write a parody, and hence Winning with the Bongcloud was born.

I believe you can still find the original 2010 pdf here on chess.com, or easily via Google.

To my delight, this small pdf became a minor underground hit, and I've received a steady stream of emails over the last decade from players who found it hilarious.  Unfortunately, the 2010 book suffers from a bit of haste and there are some errors and typos.

Recently I dusted it off, tidied up the innumerable typos, added some art, expanded the games, and perfected a few chess easter eggs.

I'm happy to report that the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Winning with the Bongcloud is available on Amazon in both ebook and print forms for the first time...and until February 4, is FREE on Kindle. Reviews appreciated! Thank you and enjoy.
