Anything Reti needs to be approved by Nick Raptis.
That game was dumb. White took his own rook and black made a magic queen move.
Who is Nick Raptis? And why does he have the
authority on anything Reti ?

Nick is an Oregon FM that loves playing the Reti. He told me one time that he knows the Reti 100 moves deep. The guy has quite the sense of humor...

I reposted that game because the first pgn file did not work. See reposted game
without the notes.

That still does not give him the authority to name any reti opening.
And it is not possible to know 100 moves into a game. Computers
cannot do it so why should he knwo. I used to be columnist at Chessville
with my column called "The Search for Dragons and Mythical Chess Openings
where I created my own chess openings not known in the books or by
anyone else. My highest rating was 2205 and did get a masters certicate
from the US Chess Federation. My column had more hits that the GMs,
IMs and Masters that were on Chessville. The only column which had
more hits was called "Alekhines Parrot" which was about chess news
worldwide. Was also a member of the Yahoo Unorthodox Chess Newsgroup
where I posted messages about chess openings and etc such as the new
opening against the French Defense with the moves 1.e4 d6 2.g3 d5.

No offense, but you do have a sense of humor, right?
You thought Nick was serious when he said he knows an opening 100 moves deep? And that all reti needs to go through him?
Huh. The database calls that the "Zukertort_Opening_Lemberger_Gambit." Maybe you should sue?
Playing chess like that is as creative as playing the piano with a sledgehammer.
The creativity was in creating a new chess opening. My sledgehammer style is how
I play because I love to play for a Kingside attack. I had to built my knowledge of the game step by step and can also play posiitonal. But I have different gears. I can play to squeeze my opponents space or I can play for a wide open game. Still have to learn to play half open positions. Also love to play closed positions.
I got disenchanted with playing standard chess openings because I would have to be booked up in the openings sometimes up to 15 to 20 moves. It became a burden to have to do that much memorization. I would have given up chess if that was the case. When I created the opening (1.d4 Nf6 2.g4) which I called Queen Pawn Grob but was later renamed the Gibbins Weidenhagen Gambit, this opening took me to the Hawaii State Chess Championship title in 1987 and 1988. In 87 there was a 3 way tie for first and in 88 I won the title with a score of 5.5 out of 6 games. My main rivals with standard chess openings had a score of 2 points out of 4 games. They neutralized each other.
Later I became a columnist for Chessville with my column called "The Search for
Dragons and Mythical Chess Openings" where I explored strange new chess openings not found in any chess books. Mainly gambit chess openings. And also played in 5 Hawaii International Tournaments. FM Eric Schiller had said that I was the only player he prepared for. My chessville column still exists in archive form.

It is actually is also called the John Tracy Gambit which arrives at the same position with a different sequence of moves 1.e4 Nf6 2.Nf3. However I did
not see any games by John Tracy and do not believe that the name John
Tracy is valid. I did recently discover this other name Lemberger Gambit from
Eric Schiller's chess opening database on gambits. I actually like my name
because it came from a Reti Opening and is a typical Omega Gambit
1.d4 Nf6 2.e4. If Black takes the pawn at e4 then 2...Nc3 and 3.Nxc3 bxc3
then that weakens the Black Kingside position. The N on f6 is critical to
the defense on the King side. And that Is why the Omega Gambit works.
I saw a blitz game between GM Morozevich and GM Anand and that game
derived from a Kings Gambit, however Black played Nxe4 and also the
N at c3 with Nxc3 thereby weakening his kingside. I could not understand
why a GM of Anands caliber would play a mistake like that. He got chrushed
on the King side in a KIngside attack by Morozevich.

How about playing the Reti in an Omega Chess game?
Well, the same question applies just what engine is GM_Martin and what hardware is it being run? Simply because 15..f6??? is a horrendous move and 15...f5 blunts White's attack cold..
Why should I play something that doesn't make any sense?
Let's all create new chess openings! The one that comes up with the worst one wins!!!
Enter the Omega Reti Gambit
Recently I was on the ICC (Internet Chess Club) and I was in a restless mood.
I wanted to create a new chess opening on the board in an actual game. I therefore
created the Omega Reti Gambit over the board against chess engine GM Martin
(2600). See my win against GM Martin (2600) below:
