This depends on the piece you're moving, as you can move a knight as an opening move, but the knight's awkward L-shaped pattern doesn't usually translate to a number of spaces, per se. You're probably thinking of the pawn's initial move, as the pawn is the most commonly moved piece for an opening move.
The pawn can only move 1 or 2 squares from its initial position, and then only 1 square at a time after that.
