I never play bongcloud. I've played a few KOTH games recently and found that opponents who immediately bring their K out quickly get mated. I find it best to establish a beachhead with a quick Bc4, Nf6 and either Nc3 or c3 depending on what the opponent is playing. The top priority for me is to defend the d5 and e5 squares while opening up a safe passage for my king to eventually make his dash to the centre, often aided by well-timed sacrifices as my pieces draw the enemy fire 😂
