Easy Guide to the Reti Opening
The Reti Opening is one of the subtlest ways for White to open a chess game. At very little risk to himself, White prepares to chip away at Black's position. Spielmann once wrote of the opening's inventor, Richard Reti, 'Very frequently and only after a few moves, I would find myself settling down against him with a lost position without knowing exactly how it could possibly have happened.' Such is the case with this opening: Black can easily get itno serious trouble without making any obvious error. Cadogan's new 'Easy Guide' series represents a new approach to chess opening 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. International Master Angus Dunnington is one of England's most productive young authors, with a string of well-researched, user-friendly openings books to his credit. Since he was 15 years old, he has written a regular column in the Yorkshire Post.
