Ultra bullet theory

Bring your queen rook ahead of the pawns to the kingside. This is my ultra bullet theory. So far I just left it there to be captured. However it can play a more active role: capture something, most often the opponent king knight. If you are lucky there is no recapture.

Robin van Kampen from the chessbrahs played in 10sec games against a guy who always played g6 2 times 1a4 2Ra3 and h4 h5 Rah3 i believe
I think it relies on pure luck, bad strategy, imho. better is to keep your king safe, play annoying moves and try not hang pieces.
Probably better play slightly more normal.
I have 4-0 against you in this theory, and I'm quite bad (and in slower chess, weaker than you) so..
You don't get my point. When I started playing ultra I fell to 1200. If I try playing "normal" chess then I'm destroyed, even more than with this theory. With my poor physical ability to execute moves quickly and precisely even an 1500 rating is an achievement. This is still better than 60% (!) of all ulta players. Also take into consideration that the number of ultra players is only 5% that of classical players. If all classical players would be forced to play ultra, my rating would be much better, for people who are used to think about positions this kind of unorthodox play is very disturbing.

It is only that a special breed of players play ultra and I have to give myself some reassurance in that alien environment.
i was playing on my phone between subway stops :/ which is anywhere from 10-30 seconds of spotty internet followed by complete disconnection...
