White plans to bring the d5-pawn under attack from the flank, or entice it to advance to d4 and undermine it later. White will couple this plan with a kingside fianchetto (g3 and Bg2) to create pressure on the light squares in the center.

Thats not what you asked for.

That is a book about the human being, Reti. For a book about the opening, one could try Starting Out: The Reti by Neil McDonald (2010).

Wrong. It is NOT a biography. Its a book on the opening.
"An excellent book about a great and somewhat forgotten player in chess history. ..."

Right: You are wrong.
The Reti by Reti himself. Kramnik said if it wasn't for this book you might have never become world champion. My friend who was 1500 became 1900 in a year by winning as white everytime by using ideas and plans from this book. Calrsen said this book is one of the greatest chess books ever written.
You forgot to mention that desperate trolls invent books that have never been written.
There is at least one club on this site devoted to the Reti / King's Indian Attack :

<q>That's not what you asked for<q>
You are right. That was a second thought!
kindaspongey, I have the McDonald. No outline of the basic strategies. He goes on to details right away... Don't get me wrong, I would love to sink myself to it. I just don't have the time... (That's why Fischer said that chess must be a full time occupation).
"The Reti by Reti himself". That would have been a fine book, should it exist!
I was thinking of a mid-length presentation, somewhere in the line of 20-50 pages, capturing the essence of the Reti variations and logic (I'm talking of 20-50 pages of theory and examples, not full games, which can easily fill a whole book). If only Nimzowich had outlined it... His pace in presenting his various ideas in "My system" seems ideal to me!
The Watson book seems exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!!

Now, there actually is a Move by Move book about the opening. It is by Collins, not Engqvist.

I am looking for a book (or online resource) about the Reti opening, which outlines its basic characteristics, variations and strategies, but without neither being too general or getting into great length. There are fine books about the Reti out there for sure, but I need one that sums the general ideas and variations up, before starting to get into details and games.
