De
well known GM Victor Bologan provides the user with a impressive made
over six and a half hour video entertainment on the good old Reti
Opening,where Reti wrote in 1920: As the opening is in general a
struggle for domination in the centre the characteristic feature of
every such new system will be a desire to direct pressure against the
centre soon. The natural opening move in such a system is 1.Nf3 which
directs pressure against the centre,prevents e5,and keeps open almost
all possibilities for the first player.Masters of the Chessboard,R.Reti
Bell and Son.
Bologan approach can not be compared with the thoughts of Reti,on 1.Pf3
g6 Bologan goes for 1.e4! If 1.Nf3 c5 2.c4 Nc6 3.Nc3 g6 4.d4.
All together there are 26 video files and 15 interactive testing
positions to test your knowledge of the Reti!
Included is a extra database of 126 entries where I found this

In volume one all the attention from Robert Ris went to the un castled
king but here it is all tackling the castled king.
All together highly enjoyable attacking material packed in 23
instructive video files, as for example the famous included Lasker
Bauer game from 1889.
But there is more,exercises extra games and a lot of explanations!
All packed in five hours video time!
Conclusion: Super instructive!
