No such thing exists in standard chess. One can play handicapped chess or a variant however.

He did... and his friend made two moves, propably 1.g3 ans 2.Bg2.

your friend could be playing the Grob, interesting and fun but not for good for beginners

I think he means that his opponent played 2 moves in a row and then he played a move

He gave his opponent a two move advantage

Yes, I did, I was thought to play chess initially that way, and by the way the so called rule is mentioned by Philidor, the practice of commencing the game by moving two pawns, it was usual to begin the game with two moves. That's how we were thought to play chess for generations.
