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.
A total of three. The knight is the only piece that can change direction in a move, but can only move three spaces. It can move one space forward or back, and two spaces left or right, or it can move two spaces forward or back, and one space left or right.

It can move only one square at a time, whereas other than the pawn, which can only advance two spaces on its opening move, every piece may move more than one space beyond its position. The Queen is the most powerful on the board in terms of movement and capturing power.
