If you are playing as white and know in advance black is going to play the bongcloud, then 2. Qh5 is forced mate. i.e. 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Ke7 3. Qxe5#

  Modern bong cloud doesn't use e4 (e3 instead) probably for this reason

    I assumed the Modern Bongcloud would be 1. f3 2. Kf2, attacking the center from a distance. Or is that considered a Hypermodern Bongcloud?
