I prefer L34-1.e4 f5 2.Ke2 Kf7-Fred Randal Defense for black.

It might have worked but it forces kingside vs queenside which and be violent and quick

Me again, working out my Bongcloud. This time I could force my opponent's resignation before my clock reached 0:00.

I will research on this opening and post more soon"

You cannot move kf4. The pawn blocks it!

Ben_Dubuque

actualy a delayed Bongcloud against Ke2!! can work, the king just needs to move queenside example below

 

the game would continue on and be realy interesting

I don't feel that enough study has been done on games where a bongcloud opening is initiated by black, instead of white.

True

 

I've come across

Which I'd like to call Two Knights Defense: Bongclound counter attack.
After

Black sacrifices a rook for insane and unstoppable counterplay Cool

This is an actual game out of my database.

yes but kf3 is a mistake, it brings the king into a direct line of fire better is stopping that with h4! or ignoring his threat by moving elsewere Ke3! for example this negates blacks advantage in king side space and prepares to force your king into the center wherebouts you push pawn after pawn into the mele and bring out your other pieces as needed

Here is one from the first round of the recent Bongcloud Invitational, opted for by my opponent, who gratiosly created a novelty in the process ill post the entire game once its finished
