13 ( +1 | -1 ) apologies!i am sorry but i did get the move order wrong and please take int consideration that blacks moves ARE firstly g6 and secondly bg7. thankyou
Maybe I'm wrong and Robatsch was the first master that used this opening. But GM Aaron Nimzowitsch and GM Bent Larsen used it so often than many opening specialists call 1.b3 the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Opening or, more simply, Larsen Opening.
