  A Survey of  the Openings
In the opening phase of the game it is important to develop your pieces quickly to active squares on the chess board.
This means that it is seldom a good idea to move the same piece twice before all other pieces have been developed and unnecessary pawn moves should be avoided.
In the meantime, if you wish to study openings in greater depth Chess Openings For Juniors by J. Walker is a very good introduction to opening play and for a more advanced look at the openings Gabor Kallai's Basic Chess Openings and More Basic Chess Openings are to be recommended.

  Chess opening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is therefore normal for both players to either castle in the opening (simultaneously developing one of the rooks) or to otherwise bring the king to the side of the board via artificial castling.
Opening theory began being studied more scientifically from the 1840s on, and many opening variations were discovered and named in this period and later.
The name given to an opening is not always that of the first player to adopt it; often an opening is named for the player who was the first to popularize it or to publish analysis of it.

 Réti Opening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Réti Opening (also called the Zukertort Opening and the King's Knight Opening) is a chess opening characterized by the opening move 1.Nf3.
This is not a problem if White does not intend to move it in the near future, but it rules out the possibility of playing systems with f3 and Nge2, which is a fairly popular setup against the King's Indian.
If White follows up with an early c4 a transposition to the English Opening may be reached.

 Chess openings: Reti Opening (A04)
Playing the Reti usully means you won't get killed in the opening and most players really don't know how to face it as fl.
I played the opening for psychological effect however, and on those grounds I was relatively pleased.
In fact 1.e3 actually opens as much scope.[I know that this limits the potential scope of the c1 Bishop, but on the other hand Black would not have an e4 pawn as a target for counterattacking options, or White could then play b3 Bb2 ectera.].

 Easy Guide to the Reti Opening
However, these lines, as interesting as they may be, aren't usually retained for the long haul, simply because players using the White pieces will eventually want to fight for an opening advantage.
Another big plus is that the resulting positions are rich strategically, sharp (if you wish to steer the game into such wild waters), and will be known to you while being virgin territory to your opponent.
Since it's dealing with positions that are largely alien to non-masters, a lot of good could have been done by adding 20 pages of typical Reti planning and themes.

Though I don't play the Reti myself, I have played against numerous people who have and I find that they love it because fl DOESN'T get to determine what opening to play against you.
This opening forces fl to transpose into lines you are familiar with to avoid poor development.

 Reti Opening (CD) - Chess House
Well, almost anything, only d2-d4 should not be played immediately (for that would be queen's gambit) The typical moves are 2.c4 and 2.g3, less topical is a setup with b3 and Bb2.
The opening key contains more than 14,000 games both for 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 and for 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4, so most of the games belong to the ECO codes A06-A14.
Because as mentioned above, the move d2-d4 involves transpositions to other openings, also these sytems are covered on the CD with some important variations.
