Product Description
Product Description
Richard Réti (1889-1929) was both a master player and a superb endgame composer. He was also a prominent member of the hyper-modern school and author of two of the greatest chess books ever written, Masters of the Chessboard and Modern Ideas in Chess. His games, which greatly influenced chess strategy, are known for their many innovations, beautifully developed combinations, and important advances in opening play and strategy. There are 70 games in this book, selected from all stages of Réti's career. Early games show the budding of Réti's almost phenomenal positional skills and his rise to status of great master with first prize wins at Kaschau and the international tournament of Gothenburg, 1920. There are many games from the tournaments of 1922, during the development of the Réti and the English openings including Réti-Rubinstein 1923, Réti-Becker 1923, Réti - Bogolyubov 1924, and his stunning defeat of Capablanca in 1924. The games from 1925 to his premature death in 1929 show his further development and number among them many which made the chess world sit up and take notice. Fifteen of Réti's most interesting composed endgames are also included. There is a short memoir and expert annotation by Harry Golombek. For this edition Raymond Keene has written a new Introduction.

Reti's Best is the best, 23 May 2002
By "lordfadi" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Reti's Best Games of Chess (Paperback)
Well first of all we all know who is Reti,to read his thougts and ideas in his own books is someting and to read them on the board is a completly different thing because his words are very intresting but his games are realy full of simple winning chess.I played through his games more than once and every time i go back to them ,i would still have the same joy.and thanks to H.golombik the games in this book are realy well picked.Masterpeices needs masters to annonate...
