Got it, apparently I still remember some chess
Daniel Noon:
Yes it is a strategy and can be used from many different openings. However, the most common setup (and the one mainly discussed by FM Tekeyev) spawns from the Queen’s Gambit Accepted for White. Definitely try to find ways to integrate this attack into your chess! It can help you gain more comfortable middlegame positions.

minority attack isn't an opening, but rather a strategy.. am I right?
