1.Nf3: A Reti-Grandmaster course for strategic understanding and flexibility Vol.2 - Classical Systems by Felix Blohberger

Introduction

 

Video sample

 

Instead of forcing lines, Felix emphasises deep positional understanding and flexible structures, making it easy to transition into systems like the Réti or the English Opening. His recommended King’s Fianchetto provides a strong, reliable setup, perfect for players who prefer strategic play and flexibility rather than memorising long, complicated lines.

 

In this Volume we discuss the Classical Systems where the pawns are placed in the centre: 1… c5, 1…d5, Classical Variation (d5, Nf6, e6, Be7, 0-0), Tarrsch Defence & Triangle System.
