Soon to be a classic! Great Write-up!

Yeah, I think Bobby Fischer used that aginst Boris Spassky in the Reykjavik Championship Match.

No, I think he planned to use it and that is why the russians started to believe that had inside information for a higher level of intelligence("UFOs", if you like). It is a well hidden truth tha Mr Fischer was denied the priveledge to play the groundbreaking BongCloud Attack in that particular match

ngcloud scholar mate variation:

 


farbror
A clear proof that the Bongcloud Attach is superior to other opening systems. It takes a serious (8!) amount of moves to obtain the Bongcloud Attach scholar mate. Nuff Said!

Great work oginschile ... remember the great Bongcloud has many variation.

The Indian Bongcloud , a hypermodern twist on the old classic

The Hypermodern is really...

I am soon release my notes on Nizmo-Larsen-Bongcloud. Pure Boncloud devotees might object that lingering with your King on th 2nd row is a bit of a missuse of the King's excellent attacking value.

 let's not forget of the d4 lines

Bongcloud Attack , Queen's gambit declined , The Slav Counter Bongcloud variation , lines with 4... dxc4+

This is a game I found in an issue of High Times.  I have provided full annotation.  If you're interested in learning more about the Muzio's Bongcloud, the ECO is 420.

dueds;; yhour all wrong man... .king must lead.  otheir pieses come out only when nesicery to move king lenny fworward dueds.. king is first man.  the king only goe s backwersds if absolutely a must.  that is king lenny's attack dueds.

It's a humorous patronization of the games of Chess.com member Lenny_Bongcloud.

Dhudes,  You dont understand how hard it is to play by Mastr Lnny's game plane....to get the king to the opposite end is not that easy....I had to play many games before my first win.  See http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=5194371.

 The point is not to win like Talfan is thinking...standard checkmate...just king to opposite side...  as a rule...the king must move out on 2nd move....Mastr Lenny showed me a new varient on our game here : http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=5235381  where Mastr Lenny as white's first 2 moves d4 and then kd2.....you all try and see how hard it is to get king to opposite to end....it provides interesting stratagies and using all other pieces to achive the aim...queen sacrifices are no big deal...
