Overview

Nimzo-Larsen Attack: Polish Variation is a specific line in the Flank Openings family (ECO A01), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

The Flank Openings group covers flank openings — systems that delay the central pawn break and instead develop pieces and pawns on the wings.

It begins with 2 plies and takes 1. b3 b5 to reach the canonical position.

The line is a first-level refinement of Nimzo-Larsen Attack.
