Trust me, play anyone with any talent at all and you will be killed! Bad opening, even worse play by your opponent.This is a perfect example why playing live chess, especially with fast time controls will ruin a player.

It's obviously a joke, bearslover, lol. Funny one too - thanks for that :P
e6 d6?
was he using the crippled minnow defense?
Damn man, b4 c4 d4 Kd2-c3, this brings a whole new dimension of Bongcloud openings
This is safer than castling kingside and takes only one more move to realize
The opening is obviously not a serious one and i only ever use it in 1 min bullet games where it is possible to get away with. This match was against a ~1150 player but i did go 3-0 against a ~1400 player with the Bongcloud the other day. I do often drop alot of peices but with the Bongcloud i usually win on time as the opponent spends ages trying to find a way to mate that just isnt there! Then they are way behind on time and start making silly mistakes.
The computer at medium strength can't handle it, whooped every time, for eg see below. Even managed a draw against Hard - and I've never managed that even with my usual C4 opening!
I have recently stumbled across the "bongcloud" opening and its variations. In bullet 1min games it really has given me the edge often the opening dazzles opponents and they waste alot of time. I'm 10-5 against oponents of similar ability so far and having a blast. Here's a nice example, granted my opponent did make a couple of errors, still everyone is unerved by this opening!
