What's the best move u start a chess game with?

Question

and how can i stop the one playing in black from doing the same moves that i do?

Answer 1

the kings pawn : e4 because it opens up you side and gives you more leeway on the board.

to stop black: well if ur white and u play out an opening, there is no way black can do exactly the same because somewhere in that opening will be an attack, which black will not be able to do.

Answer 2

I like pawn to e4.  Then I watch for my opponent opening a diagonal for one of his bishops.  Depending on which diagonal he opens, I counter with either pawn to a3 or pawn to h3 respectively.  This prevents an early bishop attack on my knights when I move them out.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Pawn to A3
