In openings where the center is likely to open up, it is a good idea, except when it isn't


Generally speaking, it is usually recommended to castle in many cases, but a closed center may allow you to delay or refrain from castling, if the position otherwise allows for it.

If your opponent has a large head start in development and an open center, it's hard to imagine a situation where castling wouldn't be an immediate priority
