Is it possible that entropy has affected opening theory and now winning moves have become losing ones?

The Bongcloud (1 e4 e5 2 Ke2) in the past could have been seen as a creative move, but today, thanks to chess engines, we know it's a bad move.

Entropy has turned something surprising into a mistake.

Come over to our club at Beginners & Masters (here is the link: https://www.chess.com/club/beginners-and-masters) we have players of all levels (even a few FM's and NM's as members, as well as complete sub 1200 beginners, so yeah everything in between, too)

The forums aren't the best resource for such specific questions. In the club you can make a forum and get help from high level players, many of which are 2300+.

Hope to see you there!!
