Here is Richard Reti and his new wife, Rogneda Gorodetsky, in 1925.
These images are from Anatoly Matsukevich's "Рихард Рети" ["Richard Reti"] (2005).

Reti was a handsome man in my opinion. His wife, Rogneda Gorodetskaya-Biryukova, was the daughter of Sergey Gorodetsky and Anna (Kozelskaya). One of the three founders of the pre-revolution Guild of Poets, he was quite famous in his day. Gorodetsky became a Bolshevik and after the October Revolution, he denounced his former Guild members and survived while the others were summarily executed. Anna Gorodetsky was also a poet. Due to her paganinst/pantheist leanings, she pubished under the pseudonym "Nymph Bel-horse Lubomirska." Anna was a renouned beauty.

Richard Reti has ALWAYS been my favourite player.
He was very underrated living in the shadow of Capa but that was what made him great to me. When you live in the chess world under the shadow of a great champion in Capablanca you may never be world champion .........but you will be a great man who lived many years ahead of his time in chess terms...........
I'm a big fan of Richard Reti. My other favourite player is David Bronstein.

When I saw your screen name, I was going to ask if you were related to Reti. Fortunately, I saved myself that embarrassment by checking your profile first. lol. Those two are definitely worthy of favorite player status. But if I used the same method as you, my name here would be TigranReshevsky.
Sadly Reti died a relatively young man. Reti added to the infancy of Hypermodernism together with Nimzowitsch. The revolutionary idea that instead of BEING in the center as per Steinitz's orthodox approach (And more so Tarrasch with center pawns dominating ) you CONTROL the center must have seemed lunacy in those very early years..........
Great men take risks and then prove their theories although it was true that none rose to the title of world champion.
But their chess was aimed at not being boring. Their moves soared to heights and surely added colour to an era of black and white.
I wish I was there to see Reti beat Capa that day in 1924. What a day it would have been...........
