Does each player have to open with a 4-square piece?
The first-piece rule has no size requirement, and a tournament reply explains where the 4-piece opening comes from.

No. The rulebook only requires each player's first piece to cover a corner square, so any piece may open. Opening with a 4-square piece comes from tournament freestyle play or house rules.
