Chess Openings

Hey everyone, I am new to the site. Not so great at chess but I do like the idea of maybe an occasional game and some chat, maybe meet a few new friends.  Anyhow, I was interested in the opening books but I cannot get them to play through, they only show like the first move and go no further, is there a setting somewhere I need to set up?

Thanks!

Thank you GeniusTee and RussBell.  I will check out those resources. GeniusTee, that is a great offer and one of these times I will take you up on it, though for me, chess is not something I would put any study into, I just wanted to see what a few formal openings may look like, as a casual observer.  I think the last time I played chess against a human may be around two years ago or something like that.  Thank you again for the replies
