The Reti: KIA (A05) is a distinct Reti variation, defined by the move g3. Historically played by Richard Réti, this system highlights hypermodern flank control.
Strategic Context: Instead of the usual e4, the player opts for g3. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move strengthens the long diagonal control. Plans should focus on how to prioritize piece activity and king safety as lines open quickly and control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure..
Next Steps: From here, play typically proceeds with d5 or b5, leading into the King's Indian Attack.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: +0.21), with decisive results likely.
