Opening Overview: Réti Opening

The Réti Opening (A09) is a notable Réti Opening variation, marked by the move c4. This setup tests tactical precision.

Strategic Context: Instead of the standard b3, the player opts for c4. It succeeds by maintaining a solid objective evaluation while changing the character of the game. This move exerts pressure on d5. Plans should focus on how to control the long diagonal to exert lasting pressure and develop rapidly.

Next Steps: From here, play often proceeds with d4 or dxc4, leading into the Réti Opening.

Data Analysis: Statistical models suggest equality (Eval: -0.05), with a high probability of a draw.
