Richard Reti, Modern Ideas in Chess

Hi,

as a spare time project I transcribed the book and put it online. I think it is an awesome book for the chess amateur both simple and deep. The site needs many refinements but it can be already used to read the book.

If you're interested you can find it here: http://www.openchessbooks.org/chapter1/combination.html

Let me know your suggestions.

ps. all diagrams in the book have been converted from English Descriptive Notation to Algebric one ;)

I guess (or rather hope) that your work does not violate any patents. I do have to hail your work (which seems, by first looks, excellent) on what, to my poor opinion, is simply THE BEST CHESS BOOK EVER WRITTEN.

Thank you very much, sir!

Hi pfren,

I am not violating any patents as the book being written in 1922/3 is now in Public Domain. 

Thanks, I too think it is an excellent book but cannot say best just because I have not read many chess books yet.

pfren, he's simply posting a work by Richard Reti. Which is excellent, true enough.

I read the book in college and loved it.  I'm in a group called "GSC" that was dormant for a long time (probably my fault actually), and I want to tackle the book there.  This link is a great resource, thanks Enkdoo!

You're welcome! In my little spare time I am working on another book: Capablanca, Chess Fundamentals. You can see a preview going to: http://www.openchessbooks.org/capablanca-cf/chapter1/some_simple_mates.html but only chapter 1,3 and 4 are complete.

good reading

Nice!

I am enjoying it too. Good work! 

An excellent job, enkdoo! Thanks!!

Excellent book this is.

Some people like more the other Reti classic (Masters of the Chessboard) which of course is a stunning one, but my personal preference is this small, "lazy" book.

You are amazing!

excellent, thank you for sharing.

Thanks for this! Going to check it out.

The Russell Enterprises edition of Reti's "Modern Ideas In Chess" is in Algebraic Notation....
