One of the most welcome developments in the chess world the past years has been the emergence of the Belgian publishing firm Thinkers Publishing. The Modernized Reti, by Grandmaster Adrien Demuth is arguably the best book available on a sophisticated opening repertoire for White based on the first move 1.Nf3, typically followed by c4 an a kingside fianchetto. The author's enthusiam for this subject is infectious and he communicates well with the reader in what could have otherwise been a dry book. I give the Modernized Reti a strong recommendation.
