Best Opening Move in Chess

i am not agreed with this because every opening is good we should just know it how to play! e4 d4 f4 nf3 are some of the main.

Not at your level, no.  e4 is a better opening for you.  Seek conflict.  Learn and grow in a tactical environment.  Give yourself enough time to figure out what's going on.  There are a very few geniuses/prodigies who can play bullet without first taking the time to learn to play chess.  You're not one of them.  Play slower chess.

One of the cool things about chess is that you get to pick your own opening repertoire.  So luxuriate in the wealth of choices!  Find something that you really like!  Possibly there is a "best" opening but it's not "best" enough to trump personal preference, as you can see by looking at the openings of 2700+ GMs.  They play all sorts of things.  Carlsen played one of my pet openings, the Dutch Stonewall, which is rarely seen in top-level competition--and beat Anand and Caruana with it.  He plays what he likes:  so can you.

Thank you guys for your advice. I know you all three are better rated than me. But I will never change my opening move. Because i love this move. it is my lucky move. Hope one day my rating will be above 2000..

You won't get to 2000 if your ignoring other people's advice, chess isent a game where you get lucky, you need to gain lots of knowledge, starting with a tactical environment like baddogno said

Swood you can see my last 10 games list only 2 or 3 loses. I am getting better in Chess now mainly in Standard and Online chess. Need some improvement in bullet and blitz

If you love it, that's a good reason to play it.  You can learn tactics from any opening.  I know strong players who have been lifelong 1. d4 players, others who won't look at anything but 1. e4, and the second place in my local State Championship went to an FM who played 1. f4 and won with it.

d4 openings may slightly delay the tactics compared to e4 openings--unless your opponent plays something sharp--but they'll come along sooner or later.  (Sometimes sooner.  I drew a master as Black in a game that started 1. d4 e6 2. c4 f5 3. g4. That got tactical fast!)

Thank you chess master mkkuhner. Very Good Advice. hope I can be like you one day

Can someone recommend a good book on chess openings? My rating on here is laughable at best.

every opening is good. i'm not saying but a im told me! so i'm saying ! and i am agreed with him!

I know Shivank. Queens pawn opening is not work in all games Every opening is good I think I have to change my opening moves in different games.. Thank you

ok. it was my divti to help u! :)

 My friend thinks i suck at chess because i only wanna play as white... and my rating suffers because i resign from games when i am black...

this is getting juvenile fast.

MKK said that one had the luxury of picking ones opening,  (though she didn't say all openings are good) and then we went strait to

"recommend a book on openings cause I'm low rated"

Its VERY well known that obsessing on openings for a novice player is a HUGE waste of time, and does little to fix the big problems in his/her play.

its tactics/endgames that will help you get up the rating ladder.

and Truly,there's nothing wrong with Queens pawn opening.  I play the Queens gambit religously.

spend a few minutes to look it up and see where to develop peices - and then start learning why chess games are won or lost (tactics)

I don't train tactics with Dvd's.   Puzzle books are better- figure out the WHOLE combination before you peek at the solution.

online, chesstempo is good.

Seirawan's _Winning Chess Openings_ is a decent place to start looking for an opening that suits you.  He surveys most major openings and gives basic ideas for each, with few variations.  (There's also a very funny chapter about openings played by complete beginners--it's nice to know GMs were bozos at first too!)

Collections of games organized by opening can also be very helpful.  I think looking at whole games is important for figuring out why opening moves were played.  I picked my openings back in the 1980's by playing through all the games in a collection and picking the openings whose games appealed to me.  I'm still playing them (French and Dutch) so apparently this worked.  (Or maybe I'm just too lazy to learn the Sicilian....)

Just to note, I am not a master, though I hope to be someday.  My highest rating ever was 2170 and I have a long way to go just to get back there (that was 27 years ago, lots of downtime in between).

For someone seeking help with choosing openings, I usually bring up Openings for Amateurs by Pete Tamburro (2014).

http://kenilworthian.blogspot.com/2014/05/review-of-pete-tamburros-openings-for.html

I believe that it is possible to see a fair portion of the beginning of Tamburro's book by going to the Mongoose Press site. Perhaps 4given_rook would also want to look at Discovering Chess Openings by GM Johm Emms (2006).

"If you find an opening here that appeals to you and you wish to find out more about it, the next step would be to obtain an introductory text devoted entirely to that subject." - GM John Emms in his 2006 introduction to basic opening principles, Discovering Chess Openings

"Throughout the book Emms uses excellently chosen examples to expand the readers understanding of both openings and chess in general. Thus equipped the student can carry this knowledge forward to study individual openings and build an opening repertoire. ... For beginning players, this book will offer an opportunity to start out on the right foot and really get a feel for what is happening on the board." - FM Carsten Hansen, reviewing the 2006 Emms book

"Each player should choose an opening that attracts him. Some players are looking for a gambit as White, others for Black gambits. Many players that are starting out (or have bad memories) want to avoid mainstream systems, others want dynamic openings, and others want calm positional pathways. It’s all about personal taste and personal need.

For example, if you feel you’re poor at tactics you can choose a quiet positional opening (trying to hide from your weakness and just play chess), or seek more dynamic openings that engender lots of tactics and sacrifices (this might lead to more losses but, over time, will improve your tactical skills and make you stronger)." - IM Jeremy Silman (January 28, 2016)

"... For players with very limited experience, I recommend using openings in which the play can be clarified at an early stage, often with a degree of simplification. To accomplish this safely will take a little study, because you will have to get used to playing wiith open lines for both sides' pieces, but you can't eliminate risk entirely in the opening anyway. ... teachers all over the world suggest that inexperienced players begin with 1 e4. ... You will undoubtedly see the reply 1 ... e5 most often when playing at or near a beginner's level, ... After 2 Nf3, 2 ... Nc6 will occur in the bulk of your games. ... I recommend taking up the classical and instructive move 3 Bc4 at an early stage. Then, against 3 ... Bc5, it's thematic to try to establish the ideal centre by 4 c3 and 5 d4; after that, things can get complicated enough that you need to take a look at some theory and learn the basics; ... Of course, you can also play 1 d4 ... A solid and more-or-less universal set-up is 2 Nf3 and 3 Bf4, followed in most cases by 4 e3, 5 Be2 and 6 0-0. I'd rather see my students fight their way through open positions instead; however, if you're not getting out of the opening alive after 1 e4, this method of playing 1 d4 deserves consideration. ... a commonly suggested 'easy' repertoire for White with 1 Nf3 and the King's indian Attack ... doesn't lead to an open game or one with a clear plan for White. Furthermore, it encourages mechanical play. Similarly, teachers sometimes recommend the Colle System ..., which can also be played too automatically, and usually doesn't lead to an open position. For true beginners, the King's Indian Attack and Colle System have the benefit of offering a safe position that nearly guarantees passage to some kind of playable middlegame; they may be a reasonable alternative if other openings are too intimidating. But having gained even a small amount of experience, you really should switch to more open and less automatic play." - IM John Watson in a section of his 2010 book, Mastering the Chess Openings, Volume 4

Is there a recent book like that (apart from things like the Informants)?
