Opening Overview: Nimzo-Larsen Attack

The Nimzo-Larsen Attack (A01) is a distinct Nimzo-Larsen Attack variation, defined by the move b3. This setup tests tactical precision.

Strategic Context: While Nh3 is the consensus choice, b3 offers a fresh perspective. It succeeds by accepting a riskier evaluation to avoid heavy theory. This move aims to control the long diagonal. Plans should focus on how to prioritize piece activity and king safety as lines open quickly and develop rapidly.

Next Steps: From here, play typically proceeds with d5 or f5, leading into the Nimzo-Larsen Attack.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: -0.29), with a high probability of a draw.
