This game i played a reversed reti opening. the interesting part here is that i gave up a rook to control space and push for a win. (inspired by a recent article in chess.com where it was emphasized that we never play material, we play squares).

0-1, oops.  Ran short on time so I stopped keeping scored.  Eventually I lost the game after his queen broke through on the queenside.  Played this game in an OTB game this past weekend.  Made several blunders, but overall I enjoyed the positional play.  It felt really strong and steady, now I need to figure out where I went wrong.

This was a game I recently played in a tournament. I think white was way better positionally and should've won the game. But something went wrong and I lost the game. I had the drawing chance in 52nd move, but I was in time trouble and can't see the move. Any suggestions?

i think move 20 was not good for white.  twice i saw ether a   doubling  of pawns or an isolation of another, and i would say that was white;s downfall.  otherwise, well played

my main aim in playing 21.dxe4 was to open d-file for active play of f1 rook. i looked the position in rybka 4 and it showed dxe4 better than Bxe4.

sure, i would also retake with pawn; but what did it say for move 20?

Avatar of druanmg

It prefers Nc4.

I think in move 17. I should have played Ned6 and avoid exchange of pieces as suggested by the engine.

So here is my first Live game in the Reti!  Granted, my opponent was lower rated, but this was my first game against a human in a new opening.  Of course, my opponent did not do me the favor of playing any of the lines I just studied, so I had to rely on good Reti chess and take opportunities when they presented themselves.  Without further ado, here is zirtoc's first Reti game!
