128 Pages with an Index of Variations. A tight and square book with interior text pages of bright and white. No marks. The Reti Opening is one of the most subtle ways for White to open a chess game. At very little risk to himself, White prepares to chip away at Black's position. Reti's opponents often found themselves in lost positions without knowing exactly how it had happened. Such is the case with his opening: Black can easily get into serious trouble without making any obvious error. Cadogan's new Easy Guide series represents a new approach to chess openings books: just enough detail and just enough explanation to enable readers to play an opening with confidence, without months of memorizing theory: the easy way to master a chess opening. This book is designed to provide the reader with an appreciation of the ideas behind the Reti treatment of the versatile move lbf3. The positional foundation upon which the hypermodern approach, holding back the centre pawns and observing the key central squares with pieces, is based offers much scope for every kind of player. An equally attractive characteristic of the Reti, is the difficulty experienced by Black when trying to come up with a response, for there are no targets of the type that usually offer the second player a ready-made strategy in 1 d4 or 1 e4 openings. Today's chess-player has access to literally millions of games. Newspaper articles, magazines, books, computer databases and the Internet bombard us with so much information that it would take several lifetimes to take it all in. Adding to the frustration is the ever-changing theoretical debate which surrounds many openings and defences. There is a thin line between 'effective' and 'unsound', and keeping up with the latest developments in just one cut-throat variation is virtually impossible. There is a tendency, as we approach a new millennium, for the club player to allow himself to be fooled into believing that, armed with a computer and a million games, the opening phase of the game will no longer be a problem.…
