A set of rules you should follow in Chess opening:
The main idea behind all openings is to develop your pieces as harmonious and as fastest as possible and in the same time to disturb your opponent's positional development.
There are a few general rules you should follow when developing your pieces:
Make one of your first priorities the control of the center of the board using the pawns and your other pieces.
When moving the pawns you should have in mind a good structure for them. This is very important as the pawns dictate where your strongest squares are (Remember : the squares that are under the control of the pawns are your strongest ones).
Don't move the same piece more than once in the opening unless it's necessary. This way you won't lose any precious tempo and you will focus on developing your pieces.
Don't get the queen too fast in the game
Activate the knights first and then the bishops
Choose the best square for a piece and move it directly there. Don't waste your time by doing some intermediate moves.
Castle as soon as possible
Don't move too many pawns in the opening
While deciding your move choose the one that is more active, that threatens something or that puts the opponent in difficulty
Don't sacrifice a piece without a clear motivation.
