Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 52 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 34/" x 6") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First edition. The Réti Opening is a hypermodern chess opening whose traditional or classic method begins with the moves: 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4. White plans to bring the d5-pawn under attack from the flank, or entice it to advance to d4 and undermine it later. White will couple this plan with a kingside fianchetto (g3 and Bg2) to create pressure on the light squares in the center. The opening is named after Czechoslovakian Richard Réti (1889 1929). The opening is in the spirit of the hypermodernism movement that Réti championed, with the center being dominated from the wings rather than by direct occupation. Condition: Corners bumped, edge wear else very good.
