A chess opening is the group of initial moves of a chess game. Recognized sequences of opening moves are referred to as openings as intiated by white or defenses, as created on reply to black. There are many dozens of different openings, and hundreds of named variants.
I have found this excellent resource over at about.com I have been casually following Mark Weeks for a couple of years now and he continues to provide quality information for the general chess community. Below is his list of the top ten chess openings currently being used. Feel free to click on the links and see actual moves and strategy ideas. Once you feel comfortable with an opening feel free to challenge me at chess.com on the right.
