Bongcloud fools mate: If you don't move the king on the second move, this can happen to you!

Qxe8

Starting tomorrow I will start using this opening on the live chess. I'll post my wins when I can.

I got my first win with my very first Bongcloud game! Check it out http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=9542355 Sorry for being such a patzer but is there any square on the last rank that is better than another quare, or all they all the same? I thought H8, as in my game, was a good square but maybe e8 is better?

Great game Qxe8... but why did you play on after winning on move 25? I'm relatively new to the bongcloud, so wonder if it is possible to win 3-0 by playing your king to 3 different squares on the back rank?


good point polleke. It must be like george castanza's 'atomic wedgie', i presume the ultimate goal of the bongcloud must be to actually mate with the king (difficult and, so far, merely hypothetical at a theoretical level but, for those with faith, perhaps ultimately realisable).

Qxe8

Anyone want to play the Bongclud against me? You can be white, just send me a challege.

as an un-authorized biographer i offer to the general population a factual account of the mis-adventures of the great lenny bongcloud.  Mr. Bongcloud, actually DR.Bongcloud in California as he has been authorized to treat many illnesses including appetite loss, glaucoma, HIV, anxiety, cancer and depression, started his illustrious career in Afghanistan many many years ago.  he traveled to south american where the local indigent races embraced his philosophy of advanced horticulture for the betterment of the human race.  he studied with amazonian shamans, Argentinian gauchos, and Colombian cartel leaders until he was ready for "the big leagues" i.e. the U.S.A.  he imported himself into California sometime in the late '50's where his message of peace, love and chess spread like wildfire through the subcultures already present in the area who were searching for meaning to their pathetic existence.  many great artists, political activists, college professors, students, and common folk studied with Dr.Bongcloud.  they usually stayed up late in order to really appreciate the full effects of the good Dr.'s teachings.  While it is true that the great Bobby Fischer encountered Dr.Bongcloud in the late '60's, Lenny's teaching abilities were not to Bobby's liking and were discarded as "hippy patzer B.S."  Bobby did entertain the idea of using the Bongcloud attack against Spassky in '72 as a surprise weapon but instead chose to go with a more conventional opening 1.c4.  it was rumored that the KGB and CIA conspired together to stop Fischer from using this brutal opening system as to hide the truth from the world- the truth being that a bongcloud can conquer any opposition.  while many Ufologists claim that Lenny received his opening theory from an advanced race of extraterrestrial-other-dimensional beings, the truth is still unclear.  from my research, lenny developed his uncompromising system while on a spiritual excursion throught the hallucinogenic landscape of peyote whilst in Argentina in 1964.  ive yet to uncover any evidence of otherworldly intelligence conferring opening secrets to our lowly terrestrially-bound species.  Since his encounter with Fischer, Lenny has lived on the lamb from the CIA, FBI, ATF and local police forces because of his peculiar ability to influence even the most intelligent humans...his charisma and charm are legendary, he is, in short, irresistible.  Thank you Dr.Boncloud, you have enhanced my music listening experiences, youve been there for me through thick and thin, youve helped me make interesting friends, youve inspired me to create wonderful new exotic foods, and youve helped me calm down when the world seemed to crazy to handle.  you have been my constant companion for 16 years now and will continue to travel with me where ever i go, till either the man puts us away, or the man upstairs decides its time for me to lay cold in the ground.
