This is a very fun and solid opening to play, as it combines the Bongcloud with the Botez Gambit, making a formidable opening for any level. I hope you have a good time with this one, & I hope you show me some games where you win!

You know what? I'm changing it's name to the Evan-Angelo Gambit.
I merged them, now I get to name it.

So you bongcloud, hang your queen, and still win. Correct?
Evan_Tsipas
yes
that's the point

I congratulate you on your sense of humor. This is so much better than the endless string of complaints "whaaa!!! I'm getting matched with people rated way below me!!!"

#6 there's no way it could be otherwise

I love this opening because it gambits a queen & the right to castle, but if you win, you get the nobility of being able to say you won with the Bongcloud AND The Botez Gambit all at the same time! It's a really good feeling to win with a meme opening of this caliber.
