1.b3 Chess Opening for White (More POWERFUL Than You Think!) - Remote Chess Academy

Today I’ll share with you an universal chess opening for White, 1.b3 – it is called as the Larsen’s Opening, or the Nimzo–Larsen Attack, or the Queen’s Fianchetto Opening. The flank opening move 1.b3 prepares to fianchetto the queen’s bishop where it will help control the central squares in hypermodern fashion and put useful pressure on Black’s kingside. The b2-bishop is often a source of recurring irritation for Black, who should not treat it lightly. You will learn the common ideas for White if Black plays 1…e5 or 1…d5, which are the most common replies. I’ll also test your knowledge at the end of this video with the famous game where the Indian grandmaster Adhiban Baskaran beat David Navara in just 9 moves in this opening. You can find the PGN of this opening below:
