Hi Everyone,

   I found this opening in a database. I did not make it up, it is real. It is known as the Koola Koola:

It's very fitting that a ridiculous opening would have a ridiculous name.

That might actually have been played by beginners trying to get their rooks in the game.

I always opened like this when I started playing because I wanted my rooks out early.. but then that was back when I was 9.

it is the israely defence (it's not a real name, but it's played all over the holy land, and i like to call it that way), only the israely defence starts the other way around, a4-h5.

That opening doesn'twork, I've tried it before it doesn't do anything for you really.
