Reti by Thomas Engqvist

Richard Reti is one of the most fascinating characters in the history of chess. Reti developed theories that were regarded as little less than revolutionary in his era. He asserted that, contrary to classical principles, the centre 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 Reti Opening (1 Nf3). Reti's theories have been proved sound and have stood the test of time. Reti scored many fine wins against the great players of his day. Move by Move provides an ideal platform to study chess. 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 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 improve your chess skills and knowledge.

Thomas Engqvist is a Swedish International Master. He has worked as a chess coach, teacher, and writer for over 30 years. Petrosian: Move by Move, his previous book, was a finalist for the coveted English Chess Federation Book of the Year award.
