AbigailII: I think SKA's main point is that "This is mainly a 'lucky or unlucky' type of game."
and I take "I think one kind of strategy is to kill your player's king fast enough to win. There are so many ways to win and yet die" as simply a way to express the lack of clear strategy when there's a tornado touching down at random on the board. All in all it's offering the opinion that your question probably has no satisfactory answer.
For me the best strategy to "win" this game would be to spend the time on a different game instead! ;-)
grenv: Another argument for not opening the centre is that it immediately reduces the odds for moving a particular piece. Specifically the knights and rooks are 1/3 to be moved while the bishops, queen and king are asleep in their beds, and that increases the odds of a blitz.
WhisperzQ: Matarilevich mentioned there being no queen on the board because he wanted to check specifically that the 5 could occur solely as a pawn promotion possibility.
