✴️ About Richard Reti
🔸 Richard Réti
🔸 Chess composer
🔸 Austro-Hungarian chess grandmaster
🔰 Richard Selig Réti was an Austro-Hungarian, later Czechoslovak chess grandmaster, chess author, and composer of endgame studies. He was one of the principal proponents of hypermodernism in chess.
🔰 Richard Reti was one of the top players in the world during the 1910s and 1920s, he began his career as a combinative classical player, favoring openings such as the King's Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.f4). After the end of the First World War, however, his playing style changed, and he became one of the principal proponents of hypermodernism, along with Aron Nimzowitsch and others.
🔰 At the age of 12, he had already submitted a chess problem to the chess column in Über Land und Meer run by Hermann von Gottschall. Von Gottschall advised him to continue working on his chess. In 1903, the then 13-year old Réti was introduced to Carl Schlechter who remarked "for his age, this is certainly exceptional". He went on to fare well at the 2nd Hungarian National tournament in Székesfehérvár, 1907.
♦️ A memorable famous and short game by Reti which named "Sucker Punch" in chessgames.com site!
