I love playing the Bongcloud.  I even created my own variation of it I like to call the Fortress Variation.

I offer a challenge to anyone who wishes to play against the Bongcloud.

My personal record with the Bongcloud is 3-2, that's three losses and two wins...

Isn't that the one when you try to get your king to your opponents backrank?
