Actually I'm pretty embarrassed that I missed Bxd2+. I was expecting a move like Qg3, when Rg7 is natural and good. When Qh4 appeared I played Rg7 without thinking too much.
Ah well, it's not like someone would ever make a post pointing it out... 😲😳
Edit: Here are all of my RHP games with the Fred. I scored 100% with that opening - how bad could it really be?* 😉
Game 3348781
Game 3348704
Game 3349869
Game 3347694
Game 3350303
Game 3350305
*Answer: really bad.
Edit again: Before anyone points it out, yes I did "miss" a mate in one in one of those games, but that was purely for aesthetic reasons.

Originally posted by SquelchbelchLike as in artificially? And in that opening for black shown by DawgHaus he held most of his attacks primarily king side, and his king was for the majority on the king side. But as for the Boungcloud, would somebody please explain to me what 2.Ke3 does exactly?
Castle QS & don't ever-extend yourself on the KS & you have a won game.
