Lifetime Repertoires: Modern Reti Part 1 by GM Simon Williams

Transpose To Victory
With The Modern Reti

Lifetime Repertoires: Modern Reti – Part 1 out-strategizes Black by forcing them to show their hand — and leading the game to favorable versions of other openings.

You’ll start by holding the pawns back, and controlling the center with 1.Nf3 instead.

This way, you keep the second player guessing about your intended setup — while avoiding annoying sidelines like the Albin and Budapest Gambit.

Black continues with 1…d5 in one out of three games. After which, you’ll strike with 2.c4 to pose tough questions to the enemy d-pawn.

However they respond, you’ll steer the game to positions where you have the easier play or superior strategy.

You’ll crank up queenside pressure in true hypermodern style, just as Richard Reti intended when he invented the opening…

Hound the enemy king with a classic attacking formation reminiscent of 1.e4…

Transpose to 1.d4 lines, where you enjoy a structural edge you can milk all game long…

Or dominate the dark squares à la #1b3cowboy.

Yes, all of the four distinct positions above started with 1.Nf3 and 2.c4. And it’s this flexibility which made the Reti appealing for top grandmasters.

Max Euwe (5th World Champion) and Vladimir Kramnik (14th World Champion) counted on the Reti to win their toughest encounters, including games for the world championship.

And while 1.Nf3 isn’t as popular as 1.d4 or 1.e4, the opening almost always makes an appearance in online and over-the-board tournaments.

Sure, maximizing your results with the Reti requires broad opening and strategic know-how…

And that’s where GM Simon Williams (2010 London Chess Classic winner) and IM Richard Palliser (2006 British Rapidplay Champion) come in.

With this dynamic duo’s help, you too can…
