With this restrained structure, the white man plans to influence the center from the flank through the fianchetto of the black-field runner . The most common answer moves are e7 – e5, d7 – d5, c7 – c5 or Ng8 – f6. However, depending on the black answer, numerous transitions to other openings are possible by changing trains :
- After 1.… d7 – d5 2. f2 – f4 there is the Bird opening . This can only happen later after, for example, 2. Bc1 – b2 c7 – c5 3. e2 – e3
(The position after 3. Ng1 – f3 was created by moving the move in the final of the Tigran Petrosjan - Bobby Fischer , Buenos Aires 1971 candidate competition . After 3.… f7 – f6, 4. e2 – e3 would have been replied with e7 – e5.)
Nb8 – c6 4. Bf1 – b5 Bc8 – d7 5. Ng1 – f3 Ng8 – f6 6. 0–0 e7 – e6 7. d2 – d3 Bf8 – d6 8. Bb5xc6 Bd7xc6 9. Nf3 – e5 Ta8 – c8 10. a2 a4 0-0 11 Sb1-d2 Nf6-d7 12 Se5xd7 Dd8xd7 by 13 f2-f4 result.
- After 1.… c7 – c5 2. e2 – e4 there is a rarer variant of the Sicilian Defense on the board.

This opening is named after the Danish grandmaster Bent Larsen and Aaron Nimzowitsch . In the very well-known game Larsen - Spasski, Belgrade in 1970 , the Dane lost with this system in a spectacular way in only 17 moves.
