user3569: I recently heard of an opening called the "Colorado Gambit". My chess opening is pretty weak and my friend suggested I might try it. What is Colorado Gambit and what is the reasoning behind the moves?

user3621:   [FEN ""]

1. e4 Nc6 2. Nf3 f5?!

This is the Colorado Gambit. 
If you are looking for a good solid opening, try looking up some of the following:

The Four Knights Game 
Italian Game 
The Ruy Lopez 
The French Defence
The Sicilian Defence
Queens Gambit

This is more than enough for the beginning. All the best!
