1.e4 e5 2.Ke2 Nf6 is the main line
3.Qe1 is the Bongcloud Gambit
3.d3 leads to the Fortress variation
3.Kf3 is the Outflank Variation
3.Ke3 is the Kamakazee Variation
3.Kd3 is the Bongcloud Zigzag Attack
Five amazing ways to play ;)
Especially against black developing and castling king-side (including KID), I might play:
1. e3 2. Ke2 3. Kd3 4. kc4 5.kb5
Staying on the light colored diagonal keeps the king safe. It may incorporporate some modern ideas in that it provides black no targets for it's developed pieces.
In this position, the king is now ideally positioned to distrupt the pawn structure of the queen-side. Obviously, if needed, the king can side step, revealing an attack by the bishop.
In the absence of a reference, I've called this the "My Cows Can Fly" variation.
Although this variation violates one of the principles attributed to Lenny, "Don't go straight, man."
Light up the world dued!
The Bongcloud FTW Dueds. Ironically, my king didn't ever become too active until the lategame. He should have resinged earlier, so i tormented for a bit. Comment one: Bongcloud FTW. Comment 2: Bongcloud always wins.
Instead of 13. Rh2 I would have sacrificed my rook, just for the hell of it.

Another very nice thing about about the bongcloud is that it's very effective against these bastards which try to copy every move your making!
the best post - ever!!
Actually, the copycat method is quite useful against highly rated opponents. The game gets much easier when you are down to one or two major pieces.
This was a live game, and i didn't have time to realize that correct was: Nf3. And, as this was not a traditional bongcloud, having to play against d5, and playing a fortress style variant. And i wanted to win. After what we have won, the bongcloud has been proven usefull Dueds

Just found this:
The little known, and seemingly powerful, Distraction variation. The main idea is to force opponents to look at something besides the King.
1.e4 e5 2.Ke2 any 3.a3!!
This little tactic is quite alarming to most players and they get so focussed on the threats of the a-pawn that the Outflank variation can be combined and becomes very potent. My bongcloud expands...
I see...a very potent attack could occur due to your opponent's distraction.
I offer an improvement on a line posted earlier:
I wondered about a fake finachetto on the queen-side as a distraction? The thing about the Bongcloud, even though they see it coming, there's nothing they can do about it. I wouldn't like every opponent to resign as soon as they see 2. Ke2.
To MyCowsCanFly:
Im looking in to that. Heres a game i played OTB.
This is the greatest thread I've ever read on any forum/messageboard.
Thank you.

Because white's king would have reached the "perfect bong" before black's king.
Does anybody here feel like creating a bongcloud thematic tourney yet?
[COMMENT DELETED]
is this some kind of inside weed joke. Personally I don't find the Bongcloud entertaining or amusing, and im walking pharmacy.

The Bongcloud is pretty solid as you might see in these threads.
