The best way to open up a chess game as said before is to gain control over the center of the board. Do this by moving your pawn in front of the king and Queen up two spaces. You can also do it by moving your bishops up one diagonal space by moving the pawn closest to the center next to them up one space. It would be wise to get your knights close to your enemy as well to ensure that they will quickly be able to take part in the action. ( My personal favorite knight move is to fork the Queen and rook). Also, make sure to keep those pawns lined up in a nicely sized line on a rank. It's the strongest structural pawn setup possible.

What is the best way to open a chess game?
"Each player should choose an opening that attracts him. Some players are looking for a gambit as White, others for Black gambits. Many players that are starting out (or have bad memories) want to avoid mainstream systems, others want dynamic openings, and others want calm positional pathways. It’s all about personal taste and personal need.
For example, if you feel you’re poor at tactics you can choose a quiet positional opening (trying to hide from your weakness and just play chess), or seek more dynamic openings that engender lots of tactics and sacrifices (this might lead to more losses but, over time, will improve your tactical skills and make you stronger)." - IM Jeremy Silman (January 28, 2016)
For someone seeking help with choosing openings, I usually bring up Openings for Amateurs by Pete Tamburro (2014).

I believe that it is possible to see a fair portion of the beginning of Tamburro's book by going to the Mongoose Press site. Another possibility is Discovering Chess Openings by GM John Emms (2006).

plz help
i have 14 days to move. helpppp
i am so stressed
Move the two pawns in front of the King and Queen up two (this quickly opens up paths for the Queen and Bishops), then move up the two knights to protect the pawns (not right in front of the King and Queen, but still protecting the two pawns you moved up earlier). This quickly captures the middle. If no pieces are in danger (if your opponent is also trying to set up defense) then move the knight's pawn (i usually do kingside because it sets up the castle faster) up one. if your opponent still doesn't attack, move the bishop into where the pawn was in the last move. if your still not being attacked, castle. what does this do? you create a difficult to attack diamond with your king and three pawns, with a bishop inside. your opponent cant attack any of the pawns without also being killed. i found that this sometimes makes the oponenet forget that there is a bishop in there, and (s)he might accidentally give up a piece for free. This also puts your rook in a good position, the sooner you develop a rook, the better it is for you.
I also noticed that using the two pawns and two knights to quickly capture the middle only works against the same opponent once. If you notice someone using that against you, attack their King's pawn quickly, try going pawn for pawn.
