[edit] Misnamed article?
Should this article be named "Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack" instead of "Larsen's Opening"? Shouldn't the actual names of the chess opening from the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings (ECO) be used? The article itself says that in ECO, it is called the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack. Nimzowitsch's name is also spelled differently in different places, e.g., "Nimzovich", but "Nimzowitsch" appears to be the correct spelling. Anyone know what the ECO name actuallly is?

- ECO rarely name openings or variations. It's a multi-language publication and translation any words is kept to a minimum. I don't have a copy to hand but I doubt any naming clarity will come from ECO. Aron Nimzowitsch was also Niemzowitsch. The later his birthname and the former as a result of an error on his passport. No idea how 'Nimzovich' came about but seems that was not his real name. ChessCreator (talk) 04:36, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
