RomyGer

Well, the name is Spielmann Variation, also known as Réti Variation.

When you can find information on Spielmann-Müller, Vienna 1928 and Spielmann-Grau, San Remo 1930, as well as Réti-Maróczy, Göteborg 1920, you can see what the name-givers did.

Oh, please, I don't want to be annoying or a pedant who always knows better, but sorry, Pellik, 2.b3 itself is not a Gambit;  --   and the Réty Gambit is as follows  Nf3  d5  c4  dxc4 ,  ( dxc4 is gambit Accepted ).  And yes, the books give more info !  Best regards !
