Crush 1. b3 with 1... e5!

He's our up-and-coming iconoclast author, chomping at the bit to tear down established thinking.

Logozar, the "Mozart of Chessable", is back to gun down theory yet again - and this time he takes aim at the Nimzo-Larsen.

1.b3 is on the rise - nip that in the bud!

Crush 1.b3 with 1...e5! is a richly-researched course presented as a full response to the Nimzo-Larsen with 1.b3 e5 2.Bb2 Nc6 3.e3 d5 4.Bb5 Bd6.

It is everything you need to take the upper hand against this hypermodern opening that's rising in popularity.

Logozar's lines present a battle of 1. b3's hyper-modern approach vs. the classical way of fighting for the initiative and dominating the centre.

In one line Logozar even offers up a pawn gambit-style - but gains full compensation.

Short, sharp, but effective

Follow Logozar's recommendations and you'll know exactly how to combat 1.b3.

And don't think detailed prep against 1.b3 isn't needed: if you're a club or tournament player you will face it.
