WOW!!!
Ultimate guide to Bongcloud opening
Sort:
So, it's called the Bongcloud huh. I've only seen this ONCE before in my life, a high rated played at the club used it in an exhibition game before the rated matches started one night. I thought he was just messing around, and never possibly imagined it was an actual opening with a name to it!! Kewl.
Toasting in epic bread
TalFan's game omits a quicker, guaranteed win (shown in the variation)
Should be called the Cardinal Richelieu. King's Pawn one square forward looks like a French Opening, you check mate with the Bishop and the King.
Amazing.... Surely a tactics book has been written on all the variations of the great bongcloud opening?
Surely it's author will be reverred by chess players everywhere.
What is your bongcloud tactics rating? I am sure it is much lower than your blitz.
Bongcloud rating; 2,576!
(btw, 56.7% of all statistics are just made up.)

Great commentary dude! Best I've seen in quite a while!
The Bongcloud has been refuted...

Imagine a new variant of chess where the winner is the player who does not get checkmated OR gets his King to the end first! Games would go like this:
Or in the case of a successful king march, this:
Qa4+ in the last diagram and white gets mated actually.

Yeah but white had reached the end and that means the game ends!
If so, then your logic doesn't make much sense, since you said that black has an extra tempo because of white moving first, so he can play Qh4+. Am I wrong?
reefer to post 103 for any questions concerning the "logic" of this opening

A perfect example of masterful bongcloud play. I won the local tournament with this game.
The only time I have dared to use this great opening on chess.com.
