If you are looking to start with 1.Nf3 and transpose to normal 1.d4 openings, both the Avrukh and Wojo books will be feature lines that mostly fit into this repertoire.


This is the key, I think. What do you want to play against

1) Nf3 d5

now 2.g3 in a pure Reti style, or maybe 2.c4


2) Nf3 Nf6

here you can play d4, c4 or g3 as main options


Depending on what do you wanna play you can choose an specific study source (book, vid) on another. It's impossible to cover all that possibilities in one single book. Authors choose (and they usually make a repertoire that is coherent), as you have to.

Salut,

Yeah, I seem to recall Keene giving 2...b5 its own section in Flank Openings -- but I think the last edition of that book came out a couple of years before Carlsen was born ...

An interesting comment by Carlsen after his recent game with MVL. The game started 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. g3 b5 3. Bg2 Bb7 4. Na3. Carlsen saying that they were "out of book" at move 2. 

Perhaps there have been no recent books, but his predecessors Spassky, Tal, Smyslov and Karpov all played 2. .. b5 in the 1960s and 1970s, in some cases repeatedly.

It might just be that 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. g3 is itself now unusual at the highest level. Kramnik regularly starts 1. Nf3 but follows up with 2. c4 against 1. .. Nf6

Sounds like you have already spotted them but I use (in addition to a subscription to Chess Publishing) "The Dynamic Reti" (Davies), "The Modern Reti" (Delchev) and Starting Out: Reti.  Books on the English are also beneficial due to the obvious transpositions.

Reti books?

Hi, I was thinking of playing the Reti (well starting with nf3 and then maybe do a lot of transposing, still trying to figure out my rep.) Any good books I should get? I know there are 2 by everyman and a new in chess. Thanks.
