Hi,

I am a big fan of Reti, and much to my dismay, it seems that there are not many here on chess.com - no group for reti.

 

well, to get him popular again, I hope to use this forum to showcase reti's best games.  Perhaps it will be inspiring for players not familiar with Reti's play.

 

ok here is my favorite:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

note: game from chessgames.com

can any fan who is a premium member make this group? i want to learn from reti and learn how to be hypermodern :)

Here's a quickie. 

I seem to have mis-placed an old favorite (my dog ate it).  Here is substitute homework.

yes, I would join really quick

great one, escapest pawn!

whoa nice, I have never seen that game before!

Yes-I'm a big fan of Reti. He's my second favorite player (after Alekhine). I often play the REti opening.  I'll join a Reti group.

I know some may consider the Muzio to be a bit dated, but the control he displays in this is envyable.  This is my old favorite.

I am a fan of the Reti opening, it is simple and effective.  His games which I have not looked at too much are beautiful, he was a strategic master.  Thanks for sharing them!

Reti is indeed the king, i would rank him among the most influential players in chess.

I organized a few Memorials of Reti and Tournaments!

You can still join some, if you a real fan!

Hypermodern Chess Openings by Eric Schiller was the first opening book I read, so I always play 1.Nf3 as white.

GO RET!

Too good tactics .. Thanks for sharing them

Some of the end game studies by Reti are superb

Im a fan of Richard Reti: Of all the great hypermodern chess founders, perhaps the most interesting is Richard Reti. Although born a Hungarian in 1889, he later was deemed a Chechoslovakian after World War I when they moved the country boundaries around. But he always felt himself to be Viennese, since he went to college in Vienna. So he was a 3-Countryman.

Reti was both a mathematician and a chess player. He once explained that mathematics was of purely speculative character, while the over the board struggle in chess, where he could force his opponent to acknowledge the truth of his chess ideas, was more alive. This is what makes him most interesting.

BTW; I have an e-book Modern Ideas in Chess By Richard Reti - Translated by John Hart. If anyone want it just let me know, i would be happy to share it with you. Go Hypermodernists. But to tell you people franckly, im a big fan of Nimzowitsch also. he influenced me well in playing the blockadings, and how to play the Nimz-Indian Def.

reti is an interesing player

I played the opening for years with good results. Now I changed to 1.d4, but replaying this games makes me hungry again :-)

I will try it today in some games :-)

Still studying on the openings, I really like this opening because it opens a game immediately.
