it si actually a very relazing opening to play against because you can spam out a quick opening without having to worry as much about your opponent catching you on a bad premove

also you don't have to spend nearlky as much time in the opening worrying about threats from your opponent and you can get better development which means more threats in the middle game and time lost by your opponent thinking them through

Hello,
Everyone's playing the Bongcloud in Bullet Chess tonight because it's a fun, unconventional opening that can catch opponents off guard and lead to exciting, unpredictable games! It's become popular due to its aggressive nature and the element of surprise it brings to the game. Have you tried playing it yourself? YourTexasBenefitsi comBest regards,

so I would argue that it is not fun because it most often leads to congested closed positions and often flagging because of this. None of which is fun by most people's definition. I would also say that it is unpredictable in the sense that it is hard to employ tactics or strategy for both sides but this is usually the case with the bong cloud so it is actually predictably tedious and idiotic (you know you're probably going to have an annoying pointless game when someone plays the bong cloud) and I don't understand how an opening that makes it harder for you to develop your pieces and defend against attacks could be considered aggressive.
