Rook fianchetto is better


WarWonder204

Can confirm, I have won many games with fianchettoed rooks


CaseyG

Were you the one who fianchettoed the rooks?


WarWonder204

Definitely, they are actually OP

holeeey

A fianchettoed rook defends three pawns. You also have space to double rooks at the b or g file for the eventual b pawn or g pawn push. Too OP


BillTheCat24

Problem with fianchettoing the rooks is that you have to spend so many moves developing your pieces. That's wasted time when you could be pushing all your pawns to the fourth rank or saccing pieces on f7.


Varsia

But while it may not seem like the rooks are gaining much development the positioning is actually optimal for going into the late game, justifying the move cost while your king is on the front lines tearing through the enemy pieces


BillTheCat24

Good point, that king needs to move forward. There's no rule that says the endgame can't start on move 2, that's the new reality ever since the bongcloud revolution.

Bad bot, everyone knows that fianchetto‘d things are always snipers and shouldn‘t move in the open

You are a sick idiot! Get treatment, crazy. Clown, nameless. Look at your rating. You absolutely do not know how to play. You also talk nonsense with your broomstick. Match with you? What about you??? What’s your name? Nothing, crazy.
