Here is a collection of some of the most popular openings for White starting with 1.e4, 1. d4 and some of the other popular choices. A chess opening is the first phase of the game where White & Black make their initial moves to complete the principle of developing pieces. There are plenty of different openings in chess, and hundreds of variant in each opening. Each opening may have its own strengths, weaknesses, drawbacks etc - but there is always something to be learned.
