The name of the first move played in a game of Chess is called the "opening move".

There are a total of 20 opening moves that can be played at the start of a chess game.

Each pawn has a possibility of moving either one or two steps forward creating 16 possible first moves with a pawn.

Both knights have two squares they can move to creating another 4 possible opening moves.
