Question by Al L: Which chess book on the Reti opening do you recommend?
I’ve been playing the Reti for really not that long now, and so far I really like it, but I’d like to extend my grasp of the opening a little more.
So which one?
- “The Dynamic Reti” by Nigel Davies (some very good reviews, however ive looked at it a bit and I don’t really care for some of the lines)
- “Starting Out: The Reti” by Neil McDonald
- “Easy Guide to the Reti Opening” by Angus Dunnington
- “How to Play the Reti” by Eric Schiller
- “Winning with the Reti Opening” by Ken Smith and John Hall
- Any other book on Amazon
What I don’t want is a book that limits my playing choices too much. What I want even less is a book that doesnt explain in detail what is going on. Finally, one thing I would really like would be at least some material on many variations. For example, against 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 e6, I’ve never been quite sure what to play.
ALSO, I’m not much of a gambiteer (however, I still don’t mind some gambits, such as 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 d4 3. e3 c5 4. b4, where I’m quite fine with 4…dxe3 5. fxe3 cxb4 6. d4!)
anyway, so if you could please recommend any of them, and say why, that would be great

I haven’t read the books, but the reviews are good and the authors are good.
I believe that you answered your own question by writing that
you don’t want is a book that limits your playing choices too much.
With that stated objective: get each of these fine books and have all the ideas.
Regarding expense: the public library, chess club, or a friend might buy one.
