Preparing the b4 pawn push, supported by the rook, to be followed up by b5, especially if there is a knight on c6, and a4, grabbing lots of queenside space and waiting for the opponent to commit to placing his pawns in the center before deciding what to do with the central pawns and kingside pieces. Prevents black's king's bishop from developing naturally to c5 or b4, and has the possibility of giving white two nice diagonals to place his bishops on: a3-f8 or a1-h8 and a2-g8. Probably has a high propensity to getting creamed on the kingside, but good for a laugh, especially in 1 minute games, like the following [the same opening idea but reversed, as black].
The same idea as white, accidentally in a 5 minute game, intended for a 1 minute game.
