The Bongcloud Gambit

I have recently developed a new variation in the well-respected Bongcloud opening (1. e4 2. Ke2). I have yet to find a refutation- it creates a virtually insurmountable attack that has devastating consequences for black. Here's a recent game with it (this was a 1|0 bullet game):

Um some guy recomended this to me once yeah he had a rating of 200

You probably only won because it was 1 minute bullet and you just moved fast and won on time pressure

good game. the king was ahead of his soldiers from the beginning, like a true fighter

Seems legit.

@Inyustisia That's exactly why I love the bongcloud. All of these more "regular" openings like the Ruy Lopez, QGD, etc have the king hiding on the back rank like a noob. A real king needs to lead his soldiers from the front lines!

It's not a true Bongcloud victory if you don't get the king to the other side.  In fact, since you checkmated your opponent, you actually lost!

As a titled BM, I can confirm its legitimacy as well.
