Réti endgame study · Chess From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves. Richard Réti The Réti endgame study is a chess endgame study by Richard Réti. It was published in 1921 in Kagan's Neueste Schachnachrichten. It demonstrates how a king can make multiple threats and how it can take more than one path to a given location, using the same number of moves. It is arguably the most famous endgame study and is covered in many books on the endgame (see chess endgame literature). The procedure is known as the "Réti Maneuver" or "Réti's Idea" (Müller & Pajeken 2008:32-33), (Nunn 2007:118-19), (Dvoretsky 2006:26). Endgame composer Abram Gurvich called the theme "The Hunt of Two Hares" and it appears in many other studies and games (Müller & Lamprecht 2007:39). It is also called "chasing two birds at once" (Dvoretsky 2006:26). Contents [hide] 1 The study 2 Another study with the same idea 3 Examples from games 3.1 Yates versus Marshall 3.2 Lasker versus Tarrasch 4 Notes 5 References 6 Further reading [edit] The study Richard Réti, 1921 White to play and draw White is to move and draw in this position. At first inspection, it appears that White has no hope in drawing. His king is well outside the "square" of the black pawn (see king and pawn versus king endgame) and the king is a long way from supporting his own pawn. However, White can draw by making king moves that have two purposes. One goal is getting in the square of the black pawn, so it can be intercepted and the other is getting to the d6 square to support the promotion of his pawn. The black king will have to spend two tempi to stop the white pawn from promoting, and this is the number of tempi the white king needs to gain in order to get into the square of the black pawn. de la Villa, page 179 Number of ways for the white king to get to squares in the minimum number of moves The second diagram shows the number of ways that the white king can get to various squares in the minimum number of moves. There are nine ways to get to d6, but only one of them allows him to get into the square of the black pawn. The solution is for the white king to follow the path on the diagonal marked by "1" and then follow the dots to intercept the black pawn (if necessary): 1. Kg7! h42. Kf6 Kb6 Black has to spend a tempo on preventing the white king from reaching his pawn. If 2... h3 then 3. Ke7 h2 4. c7 Kb7 5. Kd7 and both pawns promote, with a drawn position.3. Ke5! Kxc6 Black has to spend another tempo to capture the pawn, to prevent the white king from protecting it. If 3... h3 then 4. Kd6 h2 5. c7 h1=Q 6. c8=Q, draw (Müller & Pajaken 2008:12-13). Now the white king has gained enough tempi to get in the square of the black pawn and intercept it:4. Kf4, draw since the white king can stop the pawn from promoting (e.g. 4... h3 5. Kg3 h2 6. Kxh2) (de la Villa 2008:179-80). [edit] Another study with the same idea Richard Réti, 1928 White to move and draw Réti used the same idea in another study. The solution is: 1. Kg6 Kb62. Kxg7 f53. Kf6! f4

He was one of the top players in the world during the early 20th century. He worked to found hypermodernism, along with Aron Nimzowitsch and Savielly Tartakower. The Réti Opening (1. Nf3 d5 2. c4), with which he famously defeated the world champion Jose Raul Capablanca in New York in 1924, is now a commonly used opening on the grandmaster circuit. This defeat marked the first time Jose Raul Capablanca had lost since he had acquired the world championship title. Réti also composed numerous endgame studies. Sadly he passed away unexpectedly a week after turning forty from scarlet fever. page 1 of 22; games 1-25 of 545 Game Result Moves Year Event/Locale Opening 1.

Sure, it's a bit ideological, but so are "My System" and "New Ideas in Chess". Don't you like those either? Personally, I am very fond on "New Ideas in Chess". "Masters of the Chessboard" also contains a lot of interesting stuff, I think. Jul-06-08 brankat: It looks I will now actually have to read the book :-) Of course it is not easy now for me to respond here, without going through R.Reti's volume first, so just a few general remarks. <keypusher> <His basic theme is that it is ideas (..as opposed to, say, skill), that brings success in chess, so every great confrontation in chess history is presented as a struggle between chess ideologies..> Apparently Reti's intention was to try to understand, and present, the historical development (7-8 prior decades) of chess strategy as an evolution of ideas based on inherent (at the time "discovered") principles of the game. All that as represented by games of the pertinent masters of the era. The same approach has been used countless times in studying development/evolution of about every other human pursuit. It is understood that in matches and tournaments players of comparable skills and knowledge will be paired/matched. Often a current from will decide, or preparation etc. But at every historical crossroads of the game there was more that ultimately sealed the outcomes: The evolution of idea(s). Chesswise and otherwise. Dr.Lasker wrote convincingly (and eloquently) about the dialectics of the evolution of Chess using matches Anderssen-Morphy and Steinitz-Zukertort as examples. Steinitz actually conceived most of his principles while marveling at Anderssen's loss to Morphy! Zukertort was never able to understand and explain his failures against Steinitz. How much more skilled was Steinitz? Or Morphy? Or later Dr.Lasker when facing Steinitz or Tarrasch? It was not the level of skill/talent that prevailed. The new, and often revolutionary ideas did. Every concept will eventually outlive its usefulness. It is no different in case of Chess. Anderssen's "romanticism" could not survive Morphy's iron logic. Zukertort old Italian plan could not damage Steinitz's solid positional build-up. Steinitz's caprices and Tarrasch's dogmatism could not resist Lasker's pragmatism. The same evolutionary dialectics was evident later, too. In 1921, 1927, 1948, 1960, 1972 etc. At every milestone in the development of the game. It is possible that Reti purposefully "over-emphasized" the concept, just to make the point of explaining the overall logic of the growth of Chess. <Lasker's success is described as the result of superior psychology rather than superior play -- Reti going so far as to say that Lasker made bad moves on purpose,..> There were a number of Dr.Lasker's contemporaries who stated more or less the same. My guess is that they were fascinated with Lasker's ability to win a lot of games against equally skilled and knowledgeable opponents by often choosing "dubious"/"of-beat" ideas. Which reflects Lasker's view/idea of the game. That of a "gigantic struggle of two wills". Again, it is understood that he (like others) possessed all the necessary skills and available knowledge. So, an additional element was needed. Of course, Dr.Lasker's "bad moves" were not really bad :-) Capablanca wrote about it. More after I read the book :-) Jul-07-08 keypusher: <brankat> <How much more skilled was Steinitz? Or Morphy? Or later Dr.Lasker when facing Steinitz or Tarrasch? It was not the level of skill/talent that prevailed. The new, and often revolutionary ideas did.> I haven't studied Steinitz-Zukertort closely, but I think Z's wonderful games at the London 1883 tournament were at least as modern as Steinitz's. Judge for yourself. Lasker's matches with Steinitz and Tarrasch I have studied closely, particularly the latter. It was skill, not ideas, that made the difference. Specifically, Lasker was a stronger and more accurate calculator than either Steinitz or Tarrasch, and unlike either of them he almost never blundered. I also think he was psychologically much tougher than Tarrasch. I think superior calculating ability was also Morphy's main advantage over Anderssen, though he had others, especially his extraordinary knowledge of "book." I suspect <nimh>'s rybka project reveals more about why great masters were successful than anything they ever wrote, or that anyone else wrote about them. <There were a number of Dr.Lasker's contemporaries who stated more or less the same.> I don't think they went nearly as far as Reti. If they did, then they are wrong too. Hoffer, writing about the Tarrasch match, noted Lasker's "scrupulously correct play." That is much closer to the mark. <Ziggurat: <keypusher> Really? Sure, it's a bit ideological, but so are "My System" and "New Ideas in Chess". Don't you like those either? Personally, I am very fond on "New Ideas in Chess". "Masters of the Chessboard" also contains a lot of interesting stuff, I think.> I've never read <New Ideas in Chess.> I do like My System, but despite its ideology, not because of it. Agree that there is lots of interesting stuff in <Masters of the Chessboard>. The presence of interesting matter in a book has never kept me from disliking it, however. :-) Jul-07-08 brankat: <keypusher> <I also think he (Lasker) was psychologically much tougher than Tarrasch...> Now You are talking just like Reti himself :-) <...rybka project reveals more about why great masters were successful than anything they ever wrote, or that anyone else wrote about them.> This I don't believe will ever be the case! And just for a moment back to the "ideas/plans/principles vs(?) skills (technical tools)". Of course, to be strong and successful one must have both. Then they go hand in hand. I think that many writers/theorists, Reti amongst them, were trying to understand which aspect seemed to be a foundation, and anchor. Where does one start? It is very similar to a 3 thousand years of debate in Philosophy: which comes first (and is a foundation), an idea or matter. I don't believe the "issue" will ever be resolved. Neither is it necessary. Reti opted for ideas themselves, and assigned the know-how to apply them (=skills) the supporting role. Apparently this stems from the conviction that it is much easier to learn and improve the necessary technical skills, than to acquire a vast body of knowledge (ideas), and more importantly Understand them. Preferably, contribute one's own, too. As far as I know, all, or just about all, of the others felt and stated the same. From Steinitz to Kasparov. Jul-07-08 brankat: For the sake of entertainment, a few quotes, loosely related to the above (Steinitz, Tarrasch, Zukertort, Lasker) coming up :-) "No great player blundered oftener than I had done. I was champion of the world for twenty-eight years because I was twenty years ahead of my time. I played on certain principles, which neither Zukertort nor anyone else of his time understood. The players of today, such as Lasker, Tarrasch, Pillsbury, Schlechter and others have adopted my principles, and, as is only natural, they have improved upon what I began, and that is the whole secret of the matter." – Wilhelm Steinitz Jul-07-08 brankat: "If Zukertort has a plan in mind, he is a match for Steinitz, possibly even his peer. Every move of Zukertort's pointed towards a vigorous cooperation of the pieces united to attack the King. This is the old Italian plan; Zukertort found it ready made, and in the tactics of execution he was a great master. Steinitz, however, discovered sound and successful plans over the board. Zukertort relied on combinations, and in that field he was a discoverer, a creative genius. For all that, he was unable to make use of his faculty, the positions yielding no response to his passionate search for combinations. Zukertort, the great discoverer, searched in vain, while Steinitz was able to foresee them. Zukertort could not understand how Steinitz was able to prevent combinations. He tried for four years to solve this riddle, but he never approached its solution by even one step." – Emanuel Lasker Jul-07-08 brankat: "Dr. Tarrasch is a thinker, fond of deep and complex speculation. He will accept the efficacy and usefulness of a move if at the same time he considers it beautiful and theoretically right. But I accept that sort of beauty only if and when it happens to be useful. He admires an idea for its depth, I admire it for its efficacy. My opponent believes in beauty, I believe in strength. I think that by being strong, a move is beautiful too." – Emanuel Lasker Jul-07-08 brankat: A few relating to Dr.Lasker's fabled "extra-quality" :-) "Steinitz always looked for the objectively right move. Tarrasch always claimed to have found the objectively right move. Lasker did nothing of the kind. He never bothered about what might or might not be the objectively right move; all he cared for was to find whatever move was likely to be most embarrassing for the specific person sitting on the other side of the board." – Jacques Hannak "Although he had a great grasp and appreciation of Steinitz' theories, Lasker always played the man as well as the board." – Dave Regis "Lasker won so many games from bad positions that he was accused by at least one opponent of witchcraft, by another of hypnotism and by many more as being grossly over-endowed with good luck. In fact, he often deliberately courted difficult positions because he understood the mental stress that can be built up in the mind of an attacker when he meets with a resolute defense. By building up an opponent's hopes and then placing a trail of difficulties in his path, Lasker would induce feelings of doubt, confusion and finally panic." Bill Hartston "I keep on fighting as long as my opponent can make a mistake." – Emanuel Lasker "Lasker understood better than anyone that the true nature of the struggle in chess was not an objective search for the truth, but a psychological battle against both oneself and the opponent, in conditions of extreme uncertainty." – Max Euwe "In life, as in chess, Lasker was a fighter." – Fred Reinfeld "It is remarkable, and deserves special mention that the great masters, such as Pillsbury, Maroczy and Janowsky play against Lasker as though hypnotized." – Georg Marco "Often his opponents (and annotators too) would still be wondering long afterwards where the game h

Black is fine after 10 a3 a4 or 10 Nc5 e5 11 Nxe5 Qd6 11 Nxb7 Qxe5. White should play 10 Nbxd4 and now Black can try 10..a4, consolidating the pawns and threatening a3. So 11 Rb1, making space for the Bishop on a1, and Black can try 11.. Nc6. White can play quietly here with 12 Nc2 or try 12 Nxc6 bxc6. Here the natural 13 Ne5 runs into trouble with 13... Qc7 when 14 Nxc6 Bb7 or 14 Bxc6 Ra5 or 14 c5 Be6 all look good for Black. But by 13 Nd4 ! White comes out on top. Black can sacrifice the exchange with 13...Qc7 (possibly 13...e5) 14 Bxc6 (now ...Ra5 doesn't hit the Knight- that's why Nd4 was better than Ne5) Bh3 15 Bxa8 Rxa8 but White should have enough: or settle for a pawn deficit with 14...Bb7 15 Bxb7 Qxb7 16 0-0. Black could try to keep the White bishop unprotected and exploit the pin on the knoght with 10...Nc6 but I don't think this will work either. None of the annotators I have seen (Euwe, Golombek,Pachman or Kmoch) look at 9...a5,but given how horrible Black's position becomes in the game it's worth trying something sharp. Jul-11-03 drukenknight: going back to what euri. said about move 40. Are you saying that 40...Rxb6 will lose for black? Because after 41 pxR Kd7 white will play 42 e5? I think the black K can still get over the stop the e pawn. Im just really not sure what you're saying there. Jul-11-03 euripides: Yes, 42 e5 wins for White because Black cannot stop both pawns. Any other move loses for White, I think. Jul-11-03 drukenknight: yes he cant stop the pawns, that is very neat. Apr-19-04 chessfected: What's quite amusing is the sequence of moves 24. Nc6, 25. Re3 and 26. Qe5 when white's till then seemingly far flung pieces gang up on the e7 pawn. Perhaps an exchange sacrifice on c6 might have been worthwhile with 25...Rxc6 26. dc Qxc6+ Black might just be able to build a fortress with his knight on c5. The White knight on c6 is too much of a pain to be allowed to stay. Any thoughts? Sep-24-05 Averageguy: The move 34.c5 amazed and suprised me on first sight, but it is a completely logical intermezzo, pushing the pawn a bit furthur up in anticipation for the coming endgame. The moves 34.c5 and 36.Qxc7 have impressed on me how intermezzo's can be used for strategical purposes, as well as for tactical means. Nov-15-05 Dim Weasel: The transposition interpretations of these systems never cease to amaze me. I think this game is sometimes presented as model game of "Reti Opening" (A09), but it is not ECO-classified as such probably because it does not start 1.Nf6 d5 2.c4 Score sheet shows A07 "KIA" probably because it starts 1.Nf6 d5 2. g3 As a system it definetely looks more like a Reti because of White's double fianchetto, rook positioning and 15.Qa1. It does not look much like a typical KIA setup to me. But most amazing think is that <CG> database classifies this as A11 "English. Caro-Kann Defensive System" which is supposed to start 1.c4 c6, but the 'C-K move' c6 is not played in this game ??? Pls someone explain Jan-10-06 Laskerfan82: This is one of those games that helps demonstrate why the "hypermoderns" were so refreshing for the game of chess. Sep-25-06 syracrophy: I think that the pun refers to "Ready to Roll" that's my idea. Ideas anyone? A charming victory for the father of the hipermodernism. Another great victory with hipermodern ideas is the great Reti vs Capablanca, 1924 Sep-25-06 Soltari: What happens when 33...Nxd3?? Sep-25-06 Peligroso Patzer: What a fascinating game! The combination of the "Reversed Benko" middlegame and the technical ending provides a two-fold fascination. With regard to 40. Rb6, I am sure it was very easy for players of this calibre to see that the Rook trade wins for White, and I was eventually able to work it out for myself. In analyzing 40. ... Rxb6 41. axb6 Kd7 (or 41. ... Kd8; in either case White will eventually get in a check to gain a tempo), I first looked at next pushing the central pawn that is already a passer (42. d5). This would actually not only throw away the win, it would give Black the full point (42. ... a4 ). It is essential (as another kibitzer has pointed out) to the winning plan for White to create a second passer 3 files away from the b6-pawn by playing 42. e5! As I said, for a Reti or a Rubinstein, this is no doubt very easy to see, but it took me a couple of minutes, and I find this technical aspect of this game very pleasing aesthetically. Sep-25-06 ex0duz: Syracrophy, obviously you're correct-amundo my friend ;) Also, does 18. Rxa7 lose a piece to Bxf3? anyone have the continuation(i'm too lazy to calculate it when its not that interesting of a variation, but it does make me a tiny bit curious), does white lose his knight, rook, bishop or queen? hehe thanks friends. Sep-25-06 Llera: Re: "Soltari: What happens when 33...Nxd3??" Well, then it should go probably like this: (34)Q*c7, R*c7 (35)e*d3, and Black's Rooks have no files or columns, they are enclosed. If (35)...a4, then maybe (36) Ra1 is good, or maybe (36)Rb4 so White shouldn't leave the b-file. But I'm not sure if this would work instead: 36.c5 Rdc6, 37.dc6 Rc6, 38.Rb7+ Ke8, 39. d4, Ra6, 40. Rb6, etc, like in the main line but with an extra movement [(35...)a4] for Black. I think it finishes with the two pawns becoming Queens, so it should be draw. Sep-25-06 kevin86: The black lone pawn moved fast,but was quickly cut off by the white rook. The white pawns moved slower,but three can't be stopped as easily as one. Reti,set,go! Sep-25-06 Phony Benoni: I thought these hypermodern players didn't bother using their center pawns. Sep-25-06 Llera: Re: "Phony Benoni: I thought these hypermodern players didn't bother using their center pawns." Precisely:(Taken from: http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache.) "Hypermodern openings are what we call just about anything that does not try to occupy the center with pawns (which is what we usually call classical play). They even encourage the other side to take over the center with a big pawn mass that can then be attacked from the sides by pieces and wing pawns. " Sep-25-06 lvlaple: Awesome pun, this was one of those games with a total gridlock of queens and rooks that I always lose, and have nothing but respect for those who can play them. Sep-25-06 Phony Benoni: <Liera> Sorry--I should have made it clearer that I was making a joke based on the final position, where Reti was indeed using his center pawns quite effectively. Sep-25-06 IMlday: When this was played in 1923 the theoretical disputes between Classicism and Hypermodernism were in full bloom. Chess theory evolved parallel to new movements in art, dance, music etc. Reti's Opening appeared weird to supreme classicist Rubinstein: "The stupid double hole variation" he supposedly called it. 'Holes' were a Steinitz term for squares that couldn't be covered by pawns, e.g. 1.g3 makes a 'hole' at h3. The formation favoured by Staunton with c4, e3, g3 also makes holes at f3 and d3. Nowadays we can look back and see that both Reti's fianchetto openings and Rubinstein's Semi-slav 'Meran' stuff have passed the 'test of time'. Such a fertile period for 'new' chess as 1922-24 provides rich study material for a deep understanding of chess. Probably elo 1700-2100 would learn the most imo. A file of the time period, e.g, 1922, can be had easily by filling in the year line in the CG search but nothing else. Sep-25-06 CapablancaFan: <kevin86><Reti,set,go!> Lol. Sep-25-06 OhioChessFan: I like to quickly click through games just to get a feel for them. 20...a5 looks awful. Oct-18-07 parisattack: <syracrophy: ...A charming victory for the father of the hipermodernism.> One of the great hypermodern victories. I love the center pawns held back, rolling through and winning the game for White. Having the center pawns 'in reserve' is definately a '+' of many hypermodern openings. Sep-29-08 Benzol: I find it somewhat strange that the beginning of this game isn't considered a Reti Opening. Oct-31-08 mannetje: A wonderfull clean game, in the Reti opening by Reti himself. Kasparov annotated this game, he thinks Reti didn't make a single mistake. That was allmost unique back in '23.

Famous endgame study Main article: Réti endgame study Richard Réti, 1921 White to play and draw Réti composed one of the most famous chess studies, shown in this diagram. It was published in Ostrauer Morgenzeitung 4 December 1921. It seems impossible for the white king to catch the advanced black pawn, while the white pawn can be easily stopped by the black king. The idea of the solution is to move the king to advance on both pawns at the same time using specific properties of the chess geometry. 1. Kg7! h4 2. Kf6 Kb6 (or 2. ... h3 3. Ke7 and the white king can support its own pawn) 3. Ke5!! (and now the white king comes just in time to the white pawn, or catches the black one) 3. ... h3 4. Kd6 and draws.

Richard Réti From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This article uses algebraic notation to describe chess moves.Richard Réti Full name Richard Réti Country Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia Born May 28, 1889(1889-05-28)Pezinok, Slovakia Died June 6, 1929 (aged 40) Richard Réti (28 May 1889, Pezinok (now Slovakia) – 6 June 1929, Prague) was an Austrian-Hungarian, later Czechoslovakian chess player, chess author, and composer of endgame studies. He was born in Pezinok which at the time was in the Hungarian part of Austria-Hungary. His older brother Rudolph Réti was a noted composer and pianist.[1] Contents [hide] 1 Biography 2 Famous endgame study 3 Notable chess games 4 Publications 5 References 6 External links [edit] Biography One of the top players in the world during the 1910s and 1920s, he began his career as a fiercely combinative classical player, favoring openings such as the King's Gambit (1. e4 e5 2. f4). However, after the end of the First World War, his playing style underwent a radical change, and he became one of the principal proponents of hypermodernism, along with Aron Nimzowitsch and others. Indeed, with the notable exception of Nimzowitsch's acclaimed book My System, he is considered to be the movement's foremost literary contributor. The Réti Opening (1. Nf3) is named after him. Réti famously defeated the world champion José Raúl Capablanca in the New York 1924 chess tournament using this opening – Capablanca's first defeat in eight years, the only one to Réti, and the first since becoming World Champion. Réti was also a notable composer of endgame studies. In 1925 Réti set, and for a time held, the world record for blindfold chess with twenty-nine games played simultaneously. He won twenty-one of these, drew six, and only lost two. His writings have also become "classics" in the chess world. Modern Ideas in Chess (1923) and Masters of the Chess Board (1933) are still studied today. Réti died on June 6, 1929 in Prague of scarlet fever. He is buried in Vienna.
