In this study we are going to go over a very unusual opening of whites: the Nimzo-Larsen attack. This opening is not very aggressive and it aims to control the centre of the board with the minor pieces.

White 1.b3:

The Nimzo-Larsen Attack starts with the move b3 aiming to move the dark squared bishop in b2 to control the long dark-squared diagonal, putting enormous pressure on the g7 pawn. This opening is mainly for positional players who aim to build up a slow but efficient attack.
