"The Réti Opening is a hypermodern chess opening characterized by the opening move 1 Nf3 to prevent 1...e5, with the intention of following up, against the "classically recommended" response 1...d5, with 2 c4, coupled with a kingside fianchetto to create pressure on the light squares in the center.  It is named after Richard Réti, an untitled Grandmaster from Czechoslovakia who most famously used it to defeat José Raúl Capablanca, the reigning World Chess Champion, in a game in the 1924 New York tournament." -Wikipedia
