The Nimzowitsch–Larsen Attack received interest from Bobby Fischer, who employed 1.b3 on five occasions in 1970. A notable longer-term exponent of the opening, however, was Soviet GM Vladimir Bagirov who played 1.b3 on around 100 occasions between 1976 and 2000 with considerable success (scoring approximately 54% wins and 38% draws).
Nimzowitsch biographer GM Raymond Keene and others have referred to 1.Nf3 followed by 2.b3 as the Nimzowitsch–Larsen Attack. Keene wrote a book about the opening with that title. [14] These openings all exemplify Nimzowitsch's ideas about controlling the center with pieces instead of pawns.

The move has been described by Edmar Mednis as a "perfect and flexible opening" [6] and by others such as Aron Nimzowitsch as "certainly the most solid move, whereas moves such as 1.e4 and 1.d4 are both 'committal' and 'compromising'." [7] The game can transpose into many other openings that usually start with 1.e4, 1.d4, or 1.c4.
President Donald Trump told the New York Post he ordered the revocation of security clearances to officials he's sparred with in court.
Although there are several examples from games in the 19th century, the Van 't Kruijs Opening is not popular in the modern era and is not a common choice for grandmasters, but its ability to transpose into many different openings explains its attraction for some players such as Pavel Blatny, Aron Nimzowitsch, [1] and Bent Larsen.
