1. Nf3 typically transposes into a Queen's Gambit, English or KIA. So which of those do you want to play?
It's a nice move if your goal is to play an English but avoid the reversed Sicilian.
I play it to transpose to the QG. It seems to encourage my opponents to play the Chigorin, which I'm always happy to see.
I feel that the reti could work for me because it limits their opening options so I can play very similar positions consistently, but I'm wondering where I could get some info on the theory, any advice?
