Bongcloud Attack
Overview
Bongcloud Attack is a specific line in the Open Games family (ECO C20), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Open Games group covers open games — classical 1.e4 e5 openings where both sides contest the centre directly with pawns.
It begins with 3 plies and takes 1. e4 e5 2. Ke2 to reach the canonical position.
The line is a first-level refinement of King's Pawn Game.
