Nimzo-Larsen Attack: Classical Variation
Overview
Nimzo-Larsen Attack: Classical Variation is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A06), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.
Play reaches this position via 1. Nf3 d5 2. b3, after 3 plies of opening development.
The line refines Zukertort Opening, which traces back to the root opening Zukertort Opening.
The line splits into 4 documented sub-systems: Nimzo-Larsen Attack: Norfolk Gambit, Nimzo-Larsen Attack: Norfolk Gambit, Réti Opening: Anglo-Slav Variation, Bled Variation, and others.
