The Nimzowitsch–Larsen Attack (also known as the Nimzo–Larsen Attack, Larsen's Opening and Queen's Fianchetto Opening) is a chess opening typically starting with the move: 1.b3 but sometimes introduced by the move order 1.Nf3 and then 2.b3.
The idea consists of placing the two rooks stacked one behind another and the queen at the rear. This can lead to substantial material loss for the opponent as it places considerable pressure on the "target" of the gun, especially if it is pinned (in this case it was only four moves before resignation).
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.
Unbelievably, the score is repeated against Bent Larsen in the Denver semi-final. Former World Champion Tigran Petrosian makes a fight of it in the final, held in Buenos Aires and appears to be containing Fischer for the first half of the match, but then loses four games in a row to suffer a demoralising 2½-6½ defeat.

Nigel Davies, Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack (2012) is a ChessBase DVD rather than a book, but I would still consider ChessBase videos reliable sources. Bent Larsen, Bent Larsen's Best Games (2014) does not have a dedicated chapter on 1.b3, but presents five of his games with it, which he calls "Nimzowitsch/Larsen Opening".
