Pawns. There are 16 on the board , 8 for each player. But a true chess snob would say that there is no such "piece" . Many times the word "piece" means only the ones on the back rank.

How many queens can you have in chess when you have the pawns go across the board?

At the beginning of a chess game, each side (or color) has one queen. However, each pawn that makes it to the opposite end of the board may be 'promoted' to a queen. If every pawn promotes to a queen, then a player could have a maximum of 9 queens (the one they started with plus the eight promoted pawns). This is highly unlikely since it is very difficult for a pawn to safely make it to the other end of the board. Plus one or two queens is all that a player should need to put his or her opponent in checkmate!
