hah someone did this to me, developed their rooks while I took over the center and dismissed the guy, I got destroyed. obviously I still live in blunderville but man I learned a lesson that game.

Narrator: The two commenters had played against each other.

One tactic is to leave the rook on the wing where the opponent castles and advance the rook pawn, trying to trade it away.

Of course you can also do this if you just castle on the opposite side from your opponent. But the point is that you can also use this technique with the Bongcloud.

That's a Kadas opening - pretty terrible but I reckon stil a lot more solid than the mighty Bongcloud!
