The Reti: Nimzowitsch-Larsen, 2...c5 (A06) is a distinct Reti variation, defined by the move c5. Historically played by Richard Réti, this system highlights hypermodern flank control.
Strategic Context: While Bg4 is the main choice, c5 offers a different perspective. It succeeds by maintaining a similar objective evaluation while altering the flavor of the game. This move challenges the center from the flank. Plans should focus on how to control the key diagonals to exert long-term pressure and develop rapidly.
Next Steps: The strategic battle ahead will be defined by the struggle to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure.
Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: -0.12), with a high probability of a draw.
