Here is my post to help with learning the Reti Opening: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-openings/lets-get-quotretiquot-to-rumble
It is a great way to get familiar with the opening, based on the common replies for black.
Reti For a day 2014/01/01
starting out: the Reti Neil McDonald 2010
chapter 1 - Black Siezes Space: 2...d4
sideline game pg 18
General:
1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 d4 3.g3 c5 4.b4 with colors reversed = Benko Gambit.
1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 d4 3.g3 c5 4.e3 with colors reversed = Modern Benoni.
Is the additional tempo enough for White to gain the initiative?
McDonald does not recommend 3.e3 > 4.exd4
The game below is an example of why (not)
