When you are talking about Opening, you are referring to Whites first couples moves. Reference to defense is Blacks first few moves. Attack means that you have the advantage & trying to use it. Thanks

The Opening is just the beginning stage of the game.  White often has a slight advantage at the beginning, so we call most of his openings attacks and most of Black's replies defenses.
