Larson opening
My chess instructor taught me an opening for white 1. b4. Naturally black would take advantage and take central pawn dominance and do 1. e4 I would then do 2. Bb2, doing a fianchetto on my bishop. They would then probably do 2. d4. I would then do 3. e6
Does anybody else know the rest of this opening?
The opening 1 b4 is called Sokolsky (or sometimes Orang Utan).
Bent Larsen sometimes experimented with 1 b3 which is more flexible because the b-pawn cannot be attacked by Black's next move. Larsen analyzed this move in the first edition of ECO (encyclopedia of chess openings) Volume A.
I don't know much about this opening ...
It really is hard to follow -
This is very good book on the Sokolosky Opening though if one is interested
