Typical Reti Ideas and Strategies

The workshop starts with a lecture about the typical ideas, move orders, and strategies in the Reti opening.
It is a must for every Reti player, mainly because this opening is played mainly on understanding, not of memorization of long lines.

Below, you shall see on of the examples from this lecture.

Catalan Setups - Black Plays ...e7-e6

In the second lecture, GM Papaioannou discusses one of the most important setups - The Catalan one. 
There are two main directions - The closed position where Black is keeping the pawn on the d5-square and the variation in which Black is taking on c4. In both lines the author suggests many new ideas and he believes that Black can fight for an advantage.

Below, you shall see one of the model games:

Fighting the Slav Setups

Very important lecture. The Slav Setups are the cornerstone of the Reti opening and are considered critical. GM Papaioannou suggests the move order 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 c6 3.Bg2 Nf6 4.c4! (4.0-0 is also analyzed). Here Black has different tries, but the most critical one is 4...dxc4
The variations here are pretty sharp, but when you study the lecture well and aim with all the analyses, you will be very confident playing this position for White.

Below, you shall see one of the model games.

Dealing with the Rare Setups

This lecture is dedicated to some not-so-common setups like 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Nc6 (or 2...Nd7) 
Those systems are quite tricky and require some knowledge, but the Greek GM provides a clear solution against them. 

Below, you can take a look at Papaioannou' suggestion against 2...Nd7.

King's Indian and Gruenfeld Reversed

 The last lecture finishes the cycle and gives a solution against those two ambitious setups. True to his approach, Papaioannou suggests lines that are mainly based on understanding.
