  We consider the early cooling evolution of strongly magnetized strange stars
in a CFL phase with high gap Delta > 100 MeV. We demonstrate how this model may
explain main features of the gamma-ray burst phenomena and also yield a strong
star kick. The mechanism is based on beaming of neutrino emission along the
magnetic vortex lines. We show that for sufficiently high initial temperatures
T_0 ~ 30 - 60 MeV and surface magnetic fields B_s ~ 10^{15} - 10^{17} G, the
energy release within the narrow beam is up to 10^{52} erg with a magnetic
field dependent time scale between 10^{-2} s (for a smaller magnetic field) to
10 s. The above mechanism together with the parity violation of the
neutrino-producing weak interaction processes in a magnetic field allow for the
strange star kick. The higher the magnetic field the larger is the stars kick
velocity. These velocities may cover the same range as observed pulsar kick
velocities.
