move your pawn to E4, this is the most common and one of the best openings because it allows you to start bringing out your pieces easier and it takes control of the middle of the board, when that pawn is attacked, defend it and play from there.

A good opening move is to bring your knights forward. You opponent will do two things, he will bring his pawns forward or bring his knigt out. . if he brings his knight out then his back row is exposed to the knight which can attackk the back row without being taken, if your careful. As for him bringing his pawns out, they can be taken by your knights.
It depends on your tactics. If you play white then use a ofensive move first such as king pawns opening, then developing ur queen and bishop into powerful posistions. If you play black move king and queens pawn then moving biships past the forth rank into powerful positions.
i;m always use King Pawns tactic, it is defensive yet powerful, beside , you can develop your piece easier by doing this tactic
pawn to king four, best first move, Bobby Fischer recommends it, leads to fastest development of pieces, then knights out before bishops, castle, then attack
As someone else suggested e4, is a great opening move. Look at your library for some chess books. Believe me, there are tons of books on openings alone, and even whole dictionaries of opening moves and variations. Its pretty madening, but if you want to be a good chess player your going to have to know all of the basic openings, your oponents responses, and the type of game which results from each type of opening.



For the most part, when you are playing chess, you should always make the best move possible for any situation as it is presented on the board. This means you should play the same way against a weak oponent, a strong oponent or a computer. This way you won't be sloppy, and get in bad habits by trying to pull a fast one a weak oponent. There are exceptions to this of course, but its a good general way to play.



If you are a beginner, I would encourage you to practice with longer games. Try searching for the internet chess club, it is by far the best place to play online for a fairly reasonable price. Almost all games between Class E players are won or lost because of some type of blunder or mistake, such as losing a piece, or an obvious positional mess-up. Work hard on concentrating and eliminating these mistakes from your game. that well help you get far with chess
Remove the pawn diagonal to the queen, then move the diagonally to the right
Best move to make in a chess game? That's easy. The move that get's your opponent's king.
Play black and then only have to repond to the computer's moves.

Otherwise your best first move will be dependent on your playing style
Kings pawn advance 2 squares and then follow it up with moving out your knights, and a bishop and queen. Develop from there.
There is no 'best' first move. Don't get too caught up in opening moves because they are just memorization. Chess is really all about the end-game tactics. Learn the end-game strategy and how pieces work and then you won't have to worry about the first couple of moves - they will come naturally. Plus, your moves always depend on what your opponents just did, so you want to be flexible in your thinking.
definitely bring out the knight - try and force your opponent to attack down one side of the board
