How to Play the Réti by Eric Schiller is a practical opening guide focused on the Réti Opening (1.Nf3), presenting it as a flexible and system-based approach to the opening phase.

The book explains how 1.Nf3 allows White to avoid heavy theoretical battles while steering the game into favorable strategic structures, often transposing into English Opening or Catalan-type positions.

Schiller emphasizes hypermodern principles, including indirect central control, rapid piece development, and flexible pawn structures.

It provides coverage of Black’s main responses and typical setups, highlighting key plans, move-order ideas, and strategic goals rather than deep theoretical lines.

The material includes annotated examples and illustrative games, helping readers understand how to handle typical middlegame positions arising from the Réti.

A useful resource for club players and practical competitors, especially those looking for a solid, low-theory but strategically rich opening system.
