 | | Honza Cervenka: 28.Kd2 was a blunder. Reti overlooked 28...Nf3+! which could have been followed by 29.exf3 Rh2+ 30.Kc1 Qe2 and white cannot prevent the mate. |

| | Honza Cervenka: If 28.Kd1, then 28...Nf3 again. Maybe 28.Qe4 is the right move. |

| Aug-09-09 | | birthtimes: After Black's 12th move, Lasker notes, "White has a fair position. He might now continue with 13. Rfe1, safeguard by a3, contend for central points such as d4; in brief aim for small gains. But he now conceives the ambitious plan of gaining a decisive advantage on b6. He succeeds, but in justice [i.e., proportionately] his opponent obtains counter action on the other wing." Lasker's Manual of Chess, 1960, p. 252. |

| Aug-09-09 | | birthtimes: After Black's 16th move, Lasker comments, "But now Black wants to annihilate his opponent outright. With 16...Bxg2 17. Kxg2 the [Black] Queen was free, then 17...h4 18. Qe3 Qd8, and Black has a favourable position." ibid. |
|
| Aug-09-09 | | birthtimes: After Black's 25th move, Lasker notes, "Impossible to find a safe retreat for the White King and therefore as long as the Queens stay on the board Black has a good fighting chance. The normal, patient, suitable continuation for White would have been 26. Rg2 Nf3+ 27. Kf2 Ne5 and perhaps 28. Qd4 Rh3 with a difficult game for either party. But White judges that he has a big advantage, looks for a winning combination, and too easily persuades himself that he has discovered it." ibid., pp. 252-253. |

| Sep-13-13 | | parisattack: <Honza Cervenka: If 28.Kd1, then 28...Nf3 again. Maybe 28.Qe4 is the right move.> Tartakower notes 28.. Qe4, Qb3 'with a formidable attack' and gives two lines. Reinfeld suggests Reti was "doubtless pressed for time..." At Baden-Baden Reti played 1. g3 every game as white (according to Reinfeld). |
|
| Feb-27-21 | | SymphonicKnight: Except for the games against Carls, Marshall, and Rubinstein, where Reti actually opened with 1.c4 instead of 1.g3, which he did play the first 7 white games. This was probably because he was having a relatively poor tournament, coming in =11th-13th places, unusually poor for him (50%), and the attempt to change it up was made in his last white games. Reinfeld was mistaken, but Reti still played the first 7 games with 1.g3. |
