Dec-25-05 | | aw1988: <ruylopez> Yates was pretty strong. I don't think he was playing without a plan... |

 | | GlassCow: The "super-fianchetto" of dark-squared bishop on b2 and queen on a1 is always a treat to see in the games of Reti. He used this same setup in a famous win over Rubinstein. |
|
Apr-16-06 | | IMDONE4: Rxc6! is a great move. Black should never have allowed white to double up on the open c-file and get play along there. Also, f4 was a great strengthening move, making white's pawn structure incredibly solid. |

 | | ray keene: pity-that event produced some of my favourite games -especially retis games v capablanca lasker bogolyubov and this one v yates--endlessly fascinating battles between pawn centres and fianchettoed bishops and queens on a1 !! wonderful stuff. also laskers wins -how he notched those up---unbelievable-it almost didnt matter what sort of position he got! |

Apr-16-06 | | mack: Ray - the wonders of the Wayback Machine have come to your rescue. The file downloads obviously don't work, but I'm sure if you spoke to Steve Lopez nicely(chessbaseworkshop@yahoo.com) he'd sort you out. Here's the title page:

 | | paulalbert: <mack> Great to know there is still a way to look at the information on the 1924 Tournament in the Battle Royale site. How did you know where to find information on vanished sites? Paul Albert |

Apr-17-06 | | mack: http://web.archive.org is a godsend - not a completely flawless godsend just yet, but a godsend nonetheless. |

 | | ray keene: <mack> thanks interesting-back in the dim and distant past i seem to recall you were going to send me a magazine article re staunton or something -or am i hallucinating? something like best of british? was that it? |

Jun-07-08 | | Jesspatrick: The effectiveness of the Q on a1 controlling the diagnol and permitting access to e5 was a key to Reti's success in this game. Evidently Yates, though one of the best in the world at the time of this tournament, just wasn't in Reti's class. |

White is waiting for the right moment to plsy d3-d4 and Black wouldn't like to reply ...e4 because of Ne5 etc. But according to Niemzowitsch overprotection of e5 would have come to the rescue: 14...b5 15.Nf1 Qb8 16.Ne3 a5. Black has secured his outpost and is already clearly better. |

Nov-21-15 | | morfishine: Great, just great, another Reti play-on-word |
|
Nov-21-15 | | minehumer: Oh this reminds me of that game where the queen was on h6 and the pawn on f6 had mate in 1 but had like no other pieces anybody know what game im talking about? |

 | | kevin86: A really nice finish! |
|
Nov-21-15 | | nalinw: Has anybody come up with a name for the alignment of Queen behind Bishop on a diagonal - especially the long diagonal? How about Reti's Rapier? |
|
Nov-21-15 | | jith1207: May be, Rapier Reti-culous? |
|
Nov-21-15
 | | piltdown man: "Reti and Yating", maybe? |
|
Nov-21-15 | | andrewjsacks: <nalinw> Good suggestion. |
|

 | | thegoodanarchist: How about the following for a GOTD title:
<Dew on the Ground> |
|
Jun-03-16 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: After the 'natural' 31...Nd6 (if 32.Bxf7+ Nxf7 33.exf7+ Kxf7 and Black scapes). 32.Nc4 (threatned the Rd3 and Nd6, so the answer must be) 32...Nxc4 33.Rxc4 and black can't avoid 34.Rd8 or Bxf7+ that win the Ng6. Black has lost position, so resigns. |
|
Jun-04-16 | | Ron: There are quite a few kibitzes here without concrete analysis. After 12. ... Bd7, Stockfish 7 evaluates the position as 0.00. Reti's 13. Qa1 is not a bad move, but it is not "profound" either. After the game continuation, 13. Qa1 Ng6 14. Rfc1 Bc6 15. Nf1, Stockfish says that with 15. ... a5, Black would have a small advantage. Chess history is transcended by computers. |

May-14-17 | | Everett: <Chess history is transcended by computers.> Rewritten. Computers cannot even think for themselves (yet), much less transcend anything. |

 | | kingscrusher: I much prefer e5 overprotection like this game example to d4 like in some nimzovich examples vs french defence in the advance variation |
