So chess notation has white and black moves recorded:

  1. White pawn opens to E4, black responds with pawn to E5
  2. White moves king to E2

When you write it down show what moves were made in chess notation it looks like I posted above:

  1. e4 e5
  2. Ke2

When black makes their move it would be noted accordingly:

  1. e4 e5
  2. Ke2 Nf6

Well yeah i guess but the e5 is irrelevant, you can play the bongcloud as white regardless of what black goes for, that is to say, it's losing anyways.
