1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 is the Reti Opening.
I always had trouble against 2...d4 when I played it - couldn't say anything about 3.b4.

I don't know if you tried to use the Game Explorer ...
it tells me that 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 d4 is called Reti-Opening Advanced Variation.
it's code in the encyclopedia of chess openings is A 09
this is what wikipedia can tell you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9ti_Opening
I haven't found anything connected to 3. b4
Try www.365chess.com opening explorer.
It works perfectly fine. So it can't possibly be an opening that does not have a name. Reti is without the b4 isn't it?
mh red I'm waiting for you to arrive and in the mean time I'll try to make my own waterzooi version so that we could eat something when you arrive =)
but like sunshiny said ... who said that we're kidding? RedtiLady would be an even better name
1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 is the Réti System. Don't know if 3.b4 has a name.
Be careful in this position: after 3...f6, 4.e3 is correct, and not 4.Bb2.
I would be grateful. Thanks.
