chess opening #46636
(8)
Annotated by bwaa (1886): Hi all! This is a game from an ongoing mini-tournament that I just had to annotate. The tactics and complications are simply too good to pass up! Enjoy! This was a thematic mini-tournament starting with just 1.Nf3, so almost any opening is open season through transposition. I'm not going to spend too much time on the opening itself, both because it's quiet and because I'd just end up saying 'we …

Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): Hi everyone! Here is yet another awesome performance from the Master Mater against the extremely unfortunate Master Bastalex who resigned on the grounds of unavoidable mate. My own tactical play is very hit and miss at the moment and there is much room for improvement so I hope I can spot some tactics and hidden tactics in this one. Freddy starts off with the Reti Opening where he brings…

Annotated by charleshiggie (2224): Can you find the refutation? In this game I rather speculatively sacrificed the exchange, in return for threats to both white's king and queen - on both sides of the board. I couldn't see any defence. Neither could my opponent, who surrendered material and lost quickly. Post-match analysis showed the sacrifice to be unsound. Perhaps against a stronger player I would have checked it out better…

Crewe v Malpas Rated Friendly Match
Karl Lockett vs. Charles Higgie
Annotated by charleshiggie (2224): This was a friendly, rated game. He plays a Reti, allows me too much central control and succumbs to typical king-side attack, resigning after my 20th move. Enjoy! 1. Nf3 is an interesting alternative to the conventional opening moves. Called the Reti opening, named after Mr Richard Reti. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9ti_Opening So I counter conventionally. This move makes it a Reti,…

Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): The Reti can be a dangerous weapon when Black chooses to occupy d5 with a pawn. Black adopts a Semi-Slav set up against the Reti set up. Other moves are Bf5 (known as the New York System), Bg4 (the Capablanca), dc (pure Slav) and g6 (the Bled system). White plans to concentrate a crossfire on the center squares with a double fianchetto. Bd6 followed by 0-0, Re8 and Nbd7, aiming for a…
chess opening #648
(21)
Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): This game features an Open Reti, where White accepts doubled and isolated a-pawns for open lines and Queenside pressure. The Queen sortie to a4 then capturing on c4 is not so good as the Queen is misplaced on c4 and valuable time is wasted just to recover the pawn. Transposition into the main lines with Nf6 is possible, also a6, and c5 are also theoretically important. A move pioneered by…

White Loses the Exchange and Still Wins
David Fei (pdfiadp) (1843) vs. Halldor Palsson (2074)
Annotated by pdfiadp (1200): White opens with the Reti. Black reinforces his center while unleashing his king's bishop. He discourages cxd5 when ... exd5 gives both bishops great diagonals. Preparing Bb2, which fights for the dark-squares Black prepares to castle kingside. White will employ a double-fianchetto system. Black claims more space in the center and advances the c-pawn before developing the knight to c6. Now …

2007 Wa Open Premier Section
Brian Opalewski (1804) vs. Patrick Gay (1645)
Annotated by mybookrunsdeep (1431): Round three of the 2007 Wa Open. After drawing a Sicilian Maroczy bind the night before, I came to the board looking for blood. Unfortunately for my opponent, I was able to exploit some move order inaccuracies and get the upperhand early and never let go. The d5 strongpoint systems against the Reti are my favorites to play against. You are guaranteed a fight from move two! Black has other…

A tactic-ful game!!
tag1153 (1412) vs. jstevens1 (1603)
Annotated by jotheblackqueen (1200): 1. Nf3 - this is called the Reti Opening. Develops a piece and lends flexibility as to which pawn to push. 1......... d5 - the most popular response to the Reti according to the GK database, controls e4 and c4. 4. ........ c6 - I maintain control of the squares e4 and c4, developing a piece in the meantime. White backs up his d pawn with e3 and then I take on c4, losing control of that…
