Modern Reti

If you are do not know how to get an
advantage in Ruy Lopez Berlin or Marshall
or do not believe you can obtain an
advantage in Grunfeld, it is may be a good
idea try Reti.

6.h3

It is useful for white to make sure bishop can
not reach e6 square, when black pawn
appears on e5. F.e.:
6.Qe1 e5 7.e4 de4
7...Bd6 it is also playable for black: 8.h3
(8.ed5 Nd5! (8…cd5?! 9.Ne5 Ne5 10.d4 0–0

with approximately equal chances. After
18.Rad1 Rfe8 19.Nc4 h5 black has a clear
counterplay in contrast with our main game.
And it is an argument for 6.h3 to prevent
bishop retreat to e6.

8…de4

8...Bd6 is an option and it is considered not a
good one. But actually it is better then its
reputation:
9.Nh4 0–0 10.g4 Bg6 11.g5 Nh5 12.ed5 cd5
13.Ng6 hg6 14.Bd5 Nf4 15.Bf4 ef4 16.h4
Qc8 17.Qe4

So far black played correctly in the game
Kramnik V. : Sjugurov S., Qatar 2014.
After 17...Re8! (instead of 17…Qc2?)
18.Qg6 Ne5 19.Qe4 Ng6! 20.Bb7 (20.Qg6
Qg4 leads to draw by perpetual check)
20...Qc2 21.Qc6 Qe2 =.

9.de4 Bc5 10.a4

It is more flexible move then frequently
played 10.Nbd2. It may lead just to
transposition, if white play later Nc4 and a4.
The difference is in a possibility to play b4
(with a knight on d2 there is no such an
option, because b4 square is not protected by

11.Nh4

White is preparing trade this knight for the
black square bishop, after eventual 12.b4
Be7 13.Nf5. Alternative is 11.Na3 and black
has to main moves.
a) 11…Re8 12.Nc4 Qc7 (12...Nb6 is more
accurate, because now pawn e4 is not
protected and white has not option 13.Ne3)
13.Nh4 (It is considered a main position of
the variation.) 13...Nb6 14.Ne3 (14.Na5

worse. Position is equal) 23...Nc5 24.Qc5 b6

17.Kh1 Qd8 18.Nf5 Bg6 19.Nfd6 Re6

black activity compensate damaged pawn
structure on the king side. Position is equal.;
b) 11...Qc7 12.Nc4 Rfd8!? (12...b5!? –
Houdini).

11...Re8

Preserving f8 square for the bishop, because
12.b4 Be7 13. Nf5 is a positional threat. It is
for white favor to trade his knight for
blacksquared bishop.

12.Na3

As already mentioned, white keep option b4
along with Nc4.

12...Nf8

This move takes f8 square from the bishop
and white will trade his knight for the black
squared bishop with an aim use weakening
black squares for his favor.
12...a6 is not satisfactory for black because
lead to unfavorable pawn structure on the
queen side: 13.a5 Nf8 14.b4 Ba7 15.Be3 Be3
16.Qe3.
12...Qc7 is good alternative for black and we
consider it as a best black option. F.e.:
13.Nc4 (or 13.b4 Bf8 14.Be3 a5! 15.ba5
(15.b5? Nb6, with a better position for
black) 15...Ba3 16.Ra3 Ra5 17.Qb4 Rea8=)

16…Bg6?!

It is waste of time: sooner or later black will
have to activate this bishop by Ne8,f6,Bf7.
Possible was 16...c5 17.b5 a6, with equal
chances.
16...Red8 was natural, to take control over d
file, preparing Ne8, f6, Bf7, to consolidate
black position.
Interesting is 16...Nd4 17.f3 a5 18.ba5 Bg6
19.Kh2 Nh5 20.Qf2 with a better position

for white, though black has a good chances
to hold position.

17.f3 Nd7

Black leaves d6 square unattended and it
may be fatal for him.

18.Nc4 f5

It is a blunder. Better was 18..f6, but anyway
white has an advantage: 19.Rd1 Red8 20.c3
Bf7 21.a5 Ndf8 22.Rd8 Nd8 23.Qe2 and two
bishops give white an advantage, because
black has not any strong squares for his
knights.

19.Rd1 f4 20.Rd7 Qd7 21.Ne5 Qc7
22.gf4

Two pawns and a knight for the rook give
white an upper hand, because of strong
pawns in the center.

22...Nf4 23.Bf4 Re5 24.Qe3 Rd8
25.Qa7 Qe7 26.Be5 Qe5 27.Qe3

Kramnik prevents rook penetration on the
second rank. Also 27.Qb7 was winning:
27…Rd2 28.Qc8 Kf7 29.Kh1 Qg3 30.Rg1
Rc2 31.b5 Ke7 32.b6 Bh5 33.a5 Bf3 34.Qc7
Qc7 35.bc7 Rg2 36.Rg2 Kd7 37.Kg1 Bg2
38.Kg2 Kc7 39.e5 and white promotes one
of his pawns.

27...Qb2 28.Qc5 h6

28...Rd2 29.Rf2.

29.b5 cb5 30.Qb6 Rd2 31.Qg6 ba4
32.h4 Qd4 33.Kh1 Qd8 34.Bh3 Qh4
35.Qe6 Kh8 36.Rg1 g5 37.Qc8 Kg7
38.Rb1

1:0.


Conclusion
.
Reti system is not better then any other
opening,but in the enviroment where many
other openings and variations are analyzed
too deep, here still room for improvement
for both sides.
