The Nimzowitsch Defence (named after Aron Nimzowitsch) is a somewhat uncommon chess opening characterised by the moves: . 1. e4 Nc6. This opening is an example of a hypermodern opening in which Black invites White to occupy the centre of the board at an early stage with pawns. [1]
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".
