Mar-08-05  Jaymthegenius: Quite a game by Reti! Knows how to create possitional and exploit weaknesses quite well!
Mar-08-05  Everett: I think this transposes into a QID
Mar-08-05  Jaymthegenius: And if you look at the endgame you would notice that Reti is distincly superior to Marshall.
Mar-08-05  Everett: 26. Nd3 is a stellar move. I'm not sure if the endgame is played perfectly, but Reti's 26th is a keeper.

  aw1988: Nd3 is witty indeed, although not too hard to spot.
Mar-08-05  Everett: Not easy for me, at least.

  aw1988: What move would you consider?
Mar-08-05  Everett: without thinking too much, retreating the queen to c3 and then up to c6. Nd3 is better, I see now.

  Calli: A beautiful ending by Reti. Can't see anything to save Marshall. Earlier, though, he should sccept the sacrifice 27...Rxe5 which at least gives him a fighting chance.
Mar-15-05  Jaymthegenius: Also, I've played a game on chess21.com, I was wondering how my opponent could have gotten an advantage (I know I was worse at some point)

Here is another as black (I use "antipositional defense to strengthen my possition)

  AgentRgent: <Jaymthegenius> Why did you post your game here? What's the connection to the Reti-Marshall game above?
Mar-16-05  Jaymthegenius: The connection is you can see some of Reti's princuples going to work in my game.

  AgentRgent: <Jaymthegenius> Umkay.. perhaps it would have been a bit more apparent if you'd posted on a game where Reti was Black, or even on Reti's page.

  Fast Gun: A knight for all seasons!! Reti shows the knight with it's full range of powers, by restraining the b-pawn while supporting the advance of his own d-pawn. Is the bishop really stronger than the knight in the endgame?
Apr-07-09  bengalcat47: White's "star move" to win here is 56. Kf3. By gaining the "distant opposition" White forces the game. He will either win the g-pawn or succeed in queening his last remaining pawn.
Nov-26-10  TheRavenPK: Great great endgame skills by a man who teaches me playing chess even after more than 80 years after his death. I live in a city where Réti was born and as a chess player I am really proud of him.
