In the past few weeks, I read a story that was probably supposed to be fictional and humorous. The punchline was something like this: A father's last words of wisdom to his son as the father died were, "Never move your king bishop pawn." I'm sure I'm missing all the context and butchering the story, which is exactly why I want to find it. I couldn't find this with Internet searches. Can anyone find this story anywhere? Thanks.

All I can say is you're lucky white neglected piece development early on & decided to push pawns instead.
5.f4? is so painful on the eyes when 5.Nf3 is called for followed by 0-0, d5 & it's a turkey shoot.

2.d4...e5
3.dxe5...Nc6
4.exf6...Nxf6
Looks viable I suppose & appears 7 times on chesslive.de (3x1-0, 1x0-1 & 3x1/2 1/2). It's the 2...Kf7 nonsense I object to. Apparently the theory is to place the K on an unfamiliar square & prepare for an active K in the endgame, though in the Fried Fox that seems rather a faint hope!
1.e4...f6
2.d4...Kf7?
Appears an astonishing 6 times (3x1-0, 2x0-1 & 1x1/2 1/2)
