I have had 2 moves in a row during the middle game..SEVERAL TIMES .. but not in opening game . I guess if you handle a chess piece and you return it to its original square or it does not return to its original spot the GAME registers it as a move and so your opponent gets to move TWICE and you miss out on a shot to move
Two moves in a row in the opening

Um... I highly doubt that. Can you show us one of your games where the situation you're describing occurred?
Seems like any two from Nc3, d4, e4 and Nf3 would be best, I'd probably go d4 and e4.
Definitely d4 e4
I would suspect that with best play the two free moves: 1. e4 . . . 2. d4 . . . would allow a 2200-rated master to predictably draw or win against a 2500-rated Grandmaster 75% of the time (that is, counting a win as 1 point and a draw as 1/2 point would result in a 7-2-1 or 6-1-3 W-L-D record by the lower-rated player). In fact, throwing-in the odds of KBP given up by White, would probably up the odds to about 80% and let him choose his own two preferred moves. And I'd guess that 2. d6 might be Black's best line . . . at least that's my thinking . . . .
If white gets two moves in a row in the opening, which moves to go for? What about three moves? What about fo... ok I guess that's mate.
