    Pfft, what's next? You're going to tell me I'm crazy just cause I hear voices in my head??

    1...h5 works quite well in OTB chess. Most people don't prepare against h5 for some reason so you throw your opponent off any opening preparation and hence get a psychological edge.

    They dont need to prepare, because with this move 1) You are giving extra tempo for white for better development 2) You are giving center to your opponent. 3) You are making castling on king side very risky

    you are playing the player, not the board...

    1. e4 h5
    2. d4 h4
    3. h3

    boom, black's potential threats just died, and white is raping the crap out of the center...

    There are a lot of opening that give away the center at first. If you don't control the center it doesn't mean the game is over.

    But in openings in which black give up the center they gets better development as compensation for that. 1...h5 gives nothing for your development.

    they give way to the center, but they are preparing a strike at the center...
    look at the Caro-Kann for example...
    1. e4 c6
    black gives way to the center to set up a move two strike with
    2. d4 d5

    your line:
    1. e4 h5?
    2. d4 h4?
    3. h3 c6
    and white is essentially playing a Caro-Kann with down an extra tempo
    black already has to deal with white having more tempi in the regular Caro-Kann, let alone just giving him one more...
    horrible line...
    I hope you change soon...
    take up the caro-kann
    you will find your game much easier when you aren't down an unnecessary tempo...

    It develops the rook, obviously.
