I wanted to study a certain opening, and I was looking on the internet for explanations of the opening moves, but they don't explain the move, they just say something very vague like, we move the pawn to break in the middle on the next turn, but it doesn't explain why in this case we can move the pawn, and what other advantages would moving the pawn have in case the opponent has a countermove to that move. In short, they don't really explain the move, they just say to do it to defend X or to prepare or attack X.

Try to understand the moves yourself. That will make you a better chess player. If a specific move is impossible for you to understand even after trying hard, then make a forum asking for help.

If you don’t mind sharing your repertoire then what opening are you talking about?

That's what I do, first I think about why movement can be good, and then I see what the book's explanation of movement gives, but when the explanation is so vague, it doesn't help much.

In order to understand openings and the moves. You need to start with the basics:

1. Control the center.

2. Develop towards the center.

3. King safety.

4. Connect your Rooks.

Play openings that lead to middlegames you want to play.

Understand the plans, not just the moves.

Study the pawn structures.

Play over the games of strong GM's that play the openings you want to play.

Pen, paper and a real board and pieces will be your friend.

What opening are you learning and what book(s) are you using to learn the opening?
