"Attack with your king" 😄

[@colew9330]

Plus the bongcloud really is especially good considering that it nicely protects your bishop and queen from attacks simultaneously

[@randomman32]

Bongcloud is the best name for an opening

[@memezhg5410]

"you can also play it if your high as a kite" lmfao the way he kept full composure as he said it lol

[@electroAM]

Thanks for the help Hikaru I’ve been playing this opening nonstop and I gained -400 rating points.

[@granttotten9331]

Definitely my favorite opening of all time

[@keithbrilliansontang6087]

I love how hikaru is trying to hold it in but levy is looking dead serious about it😂

[@Eaglearif1]

As a Bongcloud player, I can confirm this is the best opening I've seen so far.

[@robertdominicceasarsalvill2221]

"Develop ypur king early" then proceeds to smile afterwards 😂

"develop the king"

[@rafid7982]

The king needs to control the center

[@corn738]

98% against a ton of other great players 😮you’re insane hikaru

[@FolkoMagipaw]

Seeing both hikaru and levy tryi g to stay serious is hilarious

[@voltextv]

Best opening tbh

[@faisalwarisman]

king’s need to take all of this by himself 😂

[@sethappleton7628]

His explanations of your options to attack with the king makes me laugh every time

[@MarkArandjus]

Everyone know the king is the most important piece, it makes no sense to to develop him and just keep him in the back rows all the time x)

[@spicybanana27]

The most respected kings lead by example

[@sabery8654]

”Brightest view of the enemy” loool

[@plumber1337]

Lol, sarcasm about the king going up but Levy himself unironically advocates for it

[@memenazi7078]

The way we played chess as kids, we stopped when everyone dies, not just the king

[@henrikfitch4017]

People also forget about the 10% attack buff to all other pieces you get from this.

[@traceyiusmemton8768]

I wanna see in my next game that someone follows this insane chess line

[@Johncornwell103]

Be that someone

[@spid3rmike117]

This is one of the plays of all time

[@cusrsedstuff8043]

Ty, imma use it in my tornament now

[@96Logan]

My uncle and cousin were both high playing chess. Cousin put his dad into check and my uncle moved his king more towards the center of the board. He kept moving closer and closer to enemy lines saying stuff like "I don't even like this piece, can I turn it into a queen or something? Put me in checkmate, I dare you." Best ice fishing trip ever

[@rickbrasil2016]

Something just snapped and made hikaru the biggest bird on that zesty gas station zaza

[@CS-en5xz]

The way hikaru keeps looking over i wonder if someone was making a bong cloud?

[@sparkz4224]

And he sacrifices…. THE KING

[@egemensahin9625]

Thats what i did when i was 2 elo attacking him with king

[@benjaminmccrum-gf2fn]

This video has probably lost beginners about a hundred elo

[@safetyfor2833]

Chess is about sightseeing 😂😂

[@KoltofNature]

I call it battle king and I get bored if I don’t play it that way. I usually lose

[@_-somebody-_]

Using bongcloud opening entire game = easily annihilating the latest stockfish bot.

[@PixelDragon873]

Getting the maximum use of the king XD

[@theo328d]

Not to mention the center has more defence

[@huckmart2017]

The wayward king attack

[@marten2730]

Hikaru should play this at titled Tuesday 😂

[@Insanaillogical]

This is the definition on a troll

[@memezhg5410]

[@pawankirplani9965]

Imagine a beginner comes across this and belives it because it's Hikaru teaching😂

The king is definitely the best piece

I wonder how good the Bongcloud is for KotH Chess...

[@BakerBea09]

the king should lead the war, not cower in fear at the corner!!!!

[@drike6]

A GM and an IM wouldn't lie

[@timchapman5553]

Some really good player could do something with this opening

[@jalwahhaneefa2677]

"high as a kite" bro wtf.

[@MangoBlasters-go5cs]

This seems like the opening lelouch would use

[@prontgamer2294]

No way it's the King Gambit

[@michaelbratton6605]

So are you saying it's such a good opening that being "high as a kite" will improve people's chess?

[@acoolname2155]

I am high as a kite

[@morganshifflett4994]

Sounds like a very good opening plan especially since I'm stoner LMAOO.

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

“Umm”

[@clemdonbaird5957]

[@bengieDMZ]

The bongcloud opening sacrifices development for a phycological advantage

[@itzyonplayz8673]

Bong cloud is a guaranteed draw and chess played perfectly is a draw therefore bong cloud is the perfect opening

[@nuraytahtaci4574]

This is me every game😊

[@danielbordeianu8471]

You guys overestimate people on the internet, some one is going to take this seriously XD

[@yellowdart6666]

I can beat everyone with this opening who , isn't 1000 or better, doesn't know that the queen sack is the most common draw as seen between magnus and Hikaru, anyone who doesn't know how to deal with defense players to assign drug dealer roles to the rooks and minor pieces = playing so bad I gain dynamic advantage and kill u somehow 😂

[@Naughtism]

🤣

[@blackholetl]

I did this opening against my father who likes the Indian opening and it was quite possibly one of the best defense I have ever tried against him. But then we switched sides after he won and i would beat him by playing cecilian with the the bongcloud's bishop front and knights in the back castled king side.

[@blackholetl]

For perspective i have only beaten my father 3 times before this point. Also, he had been telling me that Bobby Fisher did a similar opening to bongcloud once.
