	Actually the move ...Qb8 is to be played after several moves. My comment was a mistake. But this is not the point. The point at issue is the estimation of this position.

	I've got a book on the Reti system where this game is an example of the main line in this variation. When I looked up in the online databases I didn't find another games. Isn't white's position to cramped despite the piece pressure on the black center? If so what alternative line could be played for white? Reti-Yates, 1924 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 e6 3. g3 Nf6 4. Bg2 Bd6 5. b3 O-O 6. O-O Re8 7. Bb2 Nbd7 8. d3 c6 9. Nbd2 e5 10. cxd5 cxd5 11. Rc1 Nf8 12. Rc2 Bd7 13. Qa1 Ng6 14. Rfc1 Bc6 This is the Carlsbad Variation in Reti System. Here Nimtzovich suggests 14...Qb8 to control e5. What could white play here?
