Reti: Move by Move

by Thomas Engqvist

Richard Réti is one of the most fascinating characters in the history of chess. Réti developed theories that were regarded as little less than revolutionary in his era. He asserted that, contrary to classical principles, the center need not be occupied by pawns. This must have seemed like heresy to the classically-minded grandmasters of his day. This new approach was dubbed “Hypermodern” and led to the development of the Réti Opening (1 Nf3). Réti’s theories have been proved sound and have stood the test of time. Réti scored many fine wins against the great players of his day.

Bijzonder boek over een bijzondere schaker. Ik kreeg dit boek via mijn oude schaakclub van een oude schaker die helaas overleden was. Het is bijzonder om de partijen uit de 20e eeuw te spelen. Volgens mij is Reti onderdeel van de hypermodernen. Verder speelde ik de reti opening vroeger veelvuldig. Tegenwoordig kies is meer voor aanvallend spel.
