Hi guys!

"é" in Réti last name is pronounced like in the word "rare". T is pronounced like "t", no way like "d". Also Richard is pronounced like "Rikhard", not like probably most of you do. Thank you for being interested of best player of Czech and Czechoslovak history!

Yes ray-tee. And fee-an-ket-oh.

So the accent aigu in Czech is pronounced like an accent grave? That's interesting.

By the way Euwe, the Dutch champion, his name is also pronounced way differently. Not You-eh or something like that. More like Uuh-wuh but the Dutch sound for 'eu' is very specific.
