This book examines what might be described as the “pure” Réti Opening. White starts with 1 Nf3 and intends to meet 1...d5 with the “Réti” response 2 c4. One of the major advantages of playing these systems is that they rely far more on general strategic understanding than rote memorisation. However, this does not mean that Black is not set difficult problems to solve. In the modern era these lines have mainly been championed by Vladimir Kramnik and Lev Aronian. Both these players have frequently set very difficult problems for their elite opponents with these complex systems. This series provides an ideal platform to study chess openings. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to study any chess opening and at the same time improve your general chess skills and knowledge. * Essential guidance and training in the Réti Opening * Analyses all key variations * Utilizes an ideal Q+A approach to chess study

An explanation of the Reti opening move in the game of chess. The author explains the secrets of the moves and shows how they enable the White player to chip away at Black's position. The book is part of the EASY GUIDE series which gives enough detail on chess openings for players to open games with confidence, without months of memorizing theory.

Modern Ideas in Chess is a series of 45 essays dealing with the evolution of game, its leading players, their ideas and contributions to their respective periods. The chronology starts in the Romantic era of Anders-sen and Morphy, continues through the Classical School of Steinitz, Tarrasch, Lasker, and runs to the dawn of the Hypermodern Revolution; the 70 year stretch from 1852 to 1922. Working in small chunks Rti had to be selective in what he extracted from each player and period. Plus the individual elements all had to tie in with the larger canvass Rti was painting for his readers. You dont have to get too far into the book to realize that Rti was a creative artist using the tension of chess ideas to reflect the larger intellectual struggle of mankind. How does Rti do it? A solid chess foundation obviously helps, also keen observation of the human experience coupled with a powerful command of language. Together these serve up indelible images that stick in the mind of the reader and lift this work far above the ordinary. Modern Ideas in Chess is one of the rare books that transcends the time frame in which it was written. It stands on its own, timeless, one of the true classics in the literature of the game.

The Reti opening has been most popular in the most recent years. In his 'Modernized Reti', Adrien shows how this refined opening needs to be handled.

Richard Réti is one of the most fascinating characters in the history of chess. His new approach to chess theory was dubbed "Hypermodern" and led to the development of the Réti Opening (1 Nf3).

In The Dynamic Reti, Grandmaster Nigel Davies redresses the balance and advocates a repertoire for White based on this popular opening.

Reti was one of the leading Hypermoderns, a group of players who revolutionized chess in the 1920s. The games in this book - including those against such players as Capablanca, Alekhine and Lasker - are annotated in depth in this new algebraic edition, with analytical footnotes by John Nunn.
