Bongcloud Invitational!

Sort:
IWishIWasSmart

I forgot a question... Are "hypermodern" bongcloud openings allowed for this tournament. Because if any good player wants to win, then that's all they should use instead of the traditional bongcloud openings (which is technically inferior... don't tell anyone i said that...lol). And if we start that, then we will eventually kill the whole bongcloud theme, and where does it end? Will we one day have "super-duper-hypermodern bongcloud" openings where the king doesn't move until turn 30??? Lets get back to basics before we ruin what our group stands for! I guess we could have a "hypermodern" playbook, but i don't think we should ever move our King any later than turn 3 or 4... even 4 is pushing it I think...

Isn't the hypermodern bongcloud the one where the king moves to a royal fianchetto?

wrong it often in volves delaying the move up to max 15 then it turns into a positional king move or even a psudo bong clasical involves king move max move 5

And what a game it was. Clearly you had studied my previous game against dusky where the bishop played also an important part in blocking the rook in the last rank. Well played!

Actually, I DIDN'T see the game against dusky. I guess I just found the blocking prowess of the bishop on my own. It was a very good game. The hypermodern approach proved effective, but ultimately, my classical approach won out again. Analysis to come!

I am still in the middle of my game with oiquarki. I think he tricked me into 14 days per mve though. He uses every single day.

Ben_Dubuque

Sorry about that; I didn't realize it was for the tournament.Embarassed

Ben_Dubuque

what about the others

mrguy888

After much stalling, oinquarki conceded. I think he was trying to make some sort of parody of normal tourny stallers...

So, is this tournament still on?

So you just found yourself if a bongcloud game of unknown origins and simply did not question it? You must have a rather surreal life.

Dude I'm sorry - I have a bunch of games on my list and play them in order of how much time I have left.

soothsayer8

Boy, I almost forgot about this tournament. Is it still on?

Ben_Dubuque

yeah, but i am trying to remember who all is still in

soothsayer8

I think we're in the semis, so it's...four of us? I know I'm in it.
