	It's Nf3 lines not transposing to d4-openings or english lines with c5 or e5. It usually involves a fianchetto of either or both bishops.

	Don't check me with no lightweight stuff.

	It is a philosophy actually. Reti thought that black equalizes if he can fortify the d5 point. Therefore he suggested a moveorder to put d5 under pressure as soon as possible. In Baden-Baden and Moscow in 1925, he experimented with 1.g3 and 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4. The latter became known as the Reti Opening.

	What exactly constitutes the Reti Opening? 1 Nf3, 1 Nf3 with 2 c4, 1 Nf3 with 2 c4 and 3 g3, or something else?
