Greetings to all chess fans! I was playing blitz in chess.com when an opponent pulled a Bong Cloud opening against me. Bong Cloud is a troll opening in chess characterized by moving the king on the second move. It shows disrespect to one's opponent and the objective is to troll, annoy and make the opponent lose time trying to refute the opening. Hikaru Nakamura is famous for playing this in his streams because his superiority in speed chess compensates for the poor opening.
The game started with 1. f3 d5 2. Kf2
My opponent unleashed the Bong Cloud with Kf2 2. ..Bf5 3. Kg3 Nf6 4. Kf4 e6
The king marches forward in violation of sound opening principles. I'm not going to lose time trying to refute the dubious opening. My strategy was to develop my pieces and I adapted the London System setup. Eventually, my lead in development should win. 5. Ke5 Bd6+ 6. Kd4 c5+ 7. Ke3 Qb6 8. Kf2 Nc6
I developed my pieces and ready to castle. Meanwhile, my opponent is back to his position on the second move, with his King on f2. 9. c3 d4 10. Na3 O-O 11. Nc4 Qc7 12. Nxd6 Qxd6
Now my opponent will try to exchange pieces in order to counter my lead in development. I may have missed some quick wins but I'm trying to keep up with my opponent's time. It would be unfortunate if he catches up in development while I'm down on the clock. 13. Nh3 Rac8 14. d3 h6 15. Bf4 Qd7 16. Bd2 b6 17. g4 Bh7 18. g5 hxg5 19. Nxg5 Bg6
My opponent is still trying to exchange pieces and I'm making sure to avoid it. Eventually his weak position will catch up to him. 20. h4 Nh5 21. Ne4 Qc7
I'm already threatening mate on g3 by taking the knight on e4 first then Qg3 checkmate! 22. Rg1 Qh2+ 23. Bg2 Qxh4+
I already saw the winning combination at this point. The succeeding moves are forced. 24. Kf1 Bxe4
Now it's favorable to exchange pieces to remove the defender of the g3 square. 25. fxe4
Black wins with a mate in three moves. 25. ...Ng3+ 26. Kf2 Nxe4+ 27. Kf3 Ne5# { Black wins. } 0-1
I played a lot of games today but this one is a satisfying win by checkmate.
