opening moves

I had a Kasporov chess computer when I was younger, I have been looking up opening moves and he always mentioned these in the book that came with it.  although I cant remember a single one I think I may do some subcontiously.  I have looked up opening moves on forums and they are pretty good.  This is a very good site, nice people too. 

 I'm going to take some advice and practice these, but I can only presume that alot of these openng moves can only be done if your opponent is willing to play ball...we'll see
