Reti Opening

  • 23. c4
    The c2 pawn must move to allow the White B to come to c2 and occupy the b1-h7 diagonal.
    • 23... Rd8d7
      23. ... dxc; 24. bxc, Qb4; 25. Ra1-b1, Qxc4; 25. Qe5+ followed by Rxb7 and Black is in dire straits.
      • 24. cxd5 exd5 25. Qe3d2 Qe7d8 26. Re1xe8 Qd8xe8 27. Ra1e1 Qe8d8
        Black's Q and R are boxed in and his K is not safe. White has not only maintained the material advantage of B for P, but the accumulated positional advantages are becoming overwhelming: White controls critical squares in Black's camp (e5, f5), two critical files (e & h), and White can seize the b1-h7 diagonal at will.
        • 28. Bf3d1
          There is now no preventing Bc2, Qd3, Qf5, f2-f4 etc.; the White pieces invade the Black camp. Black resigned. 1 - 0
