New Bongcloud Opening?

This is just one example of how White can achieve his ideal c4-g3-h4 pawn fort with the king nested at g4... beginners may blanch at the material loss sometimes involved but note how White can launch an unstoppable attack, crushing the three key black pawns after Black foolishly castles kingside.

Obviously you don't understand the beauty of the Bongcloud.

I agree with Scottk74, the dumbest opening of all time! Everyone knows you don't expose the King like that & at move 5/6 only a complete beginner/novice or moron (take your pick!) would not play Bg4 capturing whites Queen & blowing the Bongcloud Opening out of the water ! Keep smoking the Weed boy and if ya can't take critiscism don't post 'Flawed' topics in the forum !!  Laughing

I liked the commentary especially the one "Now Black is in trouble" :D))) or is he? I'm wondering if this line has ever played at grand master level? lol

This made me laugh so hard. Thanks for that! :)

As a Classical player I disagree with the hypermodern theory of developing the king to the flanks. The King must dominate the center in order to have the most chances of ghetting to the otheir side man.

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! :))))))))

This is what happens when a chess web site doesn't have a sign-up test to see if the new player knows how the horsie moves.

I'd rather they screen people for a sense of humor.

At least you got rid of your bad bishop, that almost neutralizes the slight plus black has

Any titled player brave enough to write a book "Winning with the Bongcloud?"

Come on now, you know that you want to.

Your opponent missed the obviously better 10...Na5#. He needs to learn the basic fundamentals of attacking: use all of your pieces.

Against the Bongcloud I usually play the DEA Variation (3...Bc5).

I would simply resign if I see this opening :D))) just for fun, you know.

We should start a contest for whoever can score a win against the highest rated player during a rated game, using the bongcloud. No proxy play! The winner will get a trophy.
