Bongcloud Trap

Ever been in a situation in which your high-rated opponent keeps premoving the Bongcloud but still wins because of a few blunders? Here's a way to quickly punish them for the move, winning much material, in case you didn't know:

White is clearly in a bad position. The Scandinavian is preferred because an extra pawn is won, but the Pirc also works if you prefer a more solid setup. If Black plays a "Bongcloud Defense" with 2. ...Ke7, this can still be carried out with 1. e4 e5 2. d4 Ke7 etc.

Man no one points out the flagrant blunder yet? Blocking the bishop will suffice, either with knight or pawn! Maybe the chess community is less intelligent than I expect, or just too few people notice me. The latter is more likely. Anyway, the bishop check is still useful in the Bongcloud and can lead to faster deaths for white.
