Play e4 and d4 to control the center and discover a bishop attack on the rooks on h3 and a3.
black opens with rooks

abort the game and challenge somebody you can actually learn from.
That's a good point.
The rooks are worthless in the opening and if he moves one of the rooks for the second time in the opening to the center you can easily trap it.

Here is my post I made on a topic similar to this one.
No, an attack on the wing should be met with a counterattack in the center. Black will take the center and have a substantial advantage.
The point behind the rook pawn openings is to allow a rook lift to assist in the attack while the rook pawn is used as a battering ram in a pawn storm attack.
The problem is that this opening is the worst opening in chess, even worse than 1.g4. In rank 1.a4 is slightly better than 1.h4 because it does not weaken the kingside. 1.h4 creates a weak pawn on h4 that can only be defended by the rook and a pawn move to g3, further weakening the kingside. It does not open diagonals for the bishops, and the knight's future is questionable. The point of a rook lift is very slow, losing several tempo, allowing black to build up a powerful position. Now for the theory.
1.h4
This opening is referred to as Kadas Opening
1...d5
This move takes a stake in the center and prevents a possible rook life unless white wishes to expend an additional tempo on a pawn move.
But, there is a better move.
1...c5!
This puts to question White's first move. White would not play 2.d4 because it causes an additional loss of tempo.
2.e4
This is the only sensible move as others allow black to take the center.
2...b6
This move sets up a fianchetto to attack White's weak pawn on e4. The defense of this pawn becomes very difficult for white.
3.Nc3 Bb7
This also prepares a d5 pawn break cementing Black's grip on the center.
4.Bc4
To prevent the bishop from being blunted by a defensive d3 after a d5 pawn break.
4...e6!
Black now has several threats: The d5 pawn break, and Be7 threatening White's weak h4 pawn.
5.d3
Probably White's best to get the other bishop out and castle queenside if possible.
5...Be7
Forcing a concession by white to deal with the threat.
6.Nf3
Again, probably the best move. After 6.h5, black can just play 6...h6! White wasted an additional tempo so black can use his time to prevent the advance. Furthermore, White's dark squares are very weak. If white instead plays 6.Qg4, then black gains at least two more tempos after 6...Nf6. If white continues 7.Qxg7? black should play 7...Rg8! 8.Qh6 d5! and white is losing.
6...d5! 7.exd5 exd5 8.Bb5+ Nbd7 9.Ne5 Nf6 10.Bg5 0-0!
White is completely lost.
What's the best strategy when black opens with the rook pawns and then develops the rooks?
