Réti Advanced
White's complete advanced repertoire with the Réti Opening (1.Nf3). Ten drills cover the modern mainline 2...e6 with the timed d4 break, the Lasker 2...d4 3.b4 gambit, the quiet 2...d4 3.g3, Réti Accepted with Smyslov's 3.Na3, the Slav-like 2...c6 3.b3, the Catalan transposition after 4...dxc4, the Symmetrical 2.c4 c5, the Nimzo-Réti 3.Nc3 Bb4, the Anti-Indian 1...c5, and the King's Indian setup with a queenside b4 push.
The Réti Opening (1.Nf3) is the hypermodern weapon of choice for world-class positional players from Réti himself to Kramnik and Carlsen. Instead of occupying the centre, White challenges it from the wings with c4 and double fianchetto, then strikes with a perfectly timed d4 or e4. This advanced pack drills every modern Black try: the principled 2...e6 mainline, the Lasker 2...d4 gambit, the quiet 2...d4 3.g3, Réti Accepted 2...dxc4 with Smyslov's 3.Na3, the Slav-like 2...c6, the Catalan transposition after ...dxc4, the Symmetrical 2.c4 c5, the Nimzo-Réti 3.Nc3 Bb4, the Anti-Indian 1...c5, and a King's Indian setup met with the thematic b4 push. Forty exam positions sharpen the central breaks, knight tours, and queenside expansions so you reach a rich Réti middlegame fully prepared.
