make bongcloud a recognised opening
Sort:
This serves as a petition to make the bongcloud an officially recognised opening on chess.com
Bro, it’s already an opening
If you play it on chess.com though it doesn't recognise e2 as a book move, this is shocking and must be changed, I have several variant suggestions, such as standard variant (move king back) carlsen variant(make a draw like carlsen and hikaru, as well as the self explanatory double bongcloud, often used after black plays Nf6 to protect the e4 pawn, has anyone else got any variant suggestions???

I'm one of the few that remembers when it was invented by Lenny_bongcloud, a 900-rated player that argued the king is a powerful piece that needs to be used early in the opening. This was back in 2009 or 2010.

It does recognize it. Play 1. e4 e5 2. Ke2 and Bongcloud is in the opening name. I actually remember when chess.com added it to their opening explorer. It was shortly after the double bongcloud draw with Nakamura and Carlsen if I recall.
