Problem No. 212
White to play and mate in two moves.
FEN nq3b2/R1n1pPPK/p1B1k2N/2P5/5Pr1/1p4NQ/2pp4/B2b1r2 w - - 0 1
Solution: 1. Nh5 c1=Q 2. Qe3#
Richard Reti vs Akiba Rubinstein
Karlsbad (1923), Karlsbad CSR, rd 5, May-04
Zukertort Opening: Queen Pawn Defense (A06) 1-0
11. Having bided his time it will now be for white to establish his domination of the center!
27. The very move Reti wished to provoke, as now the Knight's position is unassailable and all the big guns can be trained on the weak Black QNP.
40. Black may not exchange rooks as White would then Queen first.
And here's a not so well known but altogether charming game which Reti won against Duras in the Abbazia Gambit tournament of 1912.
Richard Reti vs Oldrich Duras
Abbazia (1912), Abbazia (Opatija) AUH, rd 12, Jan-30
King's Gambit: Accepted. Abbazia Defense (C36) 1-0
17. (best)
19. Everything else such as . . . PxB; 20. Q-R5ch is equally hopeless.
