The Reti Opening has been a popular choice at all levels of chess for many years and is a favorite among hypermodern players who like to control the center with pieces. Yet there remains a dearth of published material on this subject ... until now. In The Dynamic Reti, Grandmaster Nigel Davies redresses the balance and advocates a repertoire for White based on this refined opening. Davies outlines the typical ideas and tactics for both White and Black, and studies both the fashionable main lines and the tricky sidelines. If you already play the Reti or are looking for a sophisticated new opening weapon, then this is essential reading.*A dynamic repertoire for White*Full explanation of the most important thematic ideas*Ideal for club and tournament players

Not a choice if you are looking to delve deep into variations, but ideal if you are looking for how to handle the first several moves in response to your 1. Nf3. Organized by shape and transpositional character (Reti Slav, Reti Benoni, Reti Dutch, and Symmetical English etc.) of the opening, Davies helps navigate the opening based on how black responds, which is the whole point of the Reti: maximum flexibility.
