Richard Reti (1889-1929) was both a master player and a superb
endgame composer. He was also a prominent member of the
hyper-modern school and author of two of the greatest chess books
ever written, Masters of the Chessboard and Modern Ideas in Chess.
His games, which greatly influenced chess strat egy, are known for
their many innovations, beautifully developed combinations, and
important advances in opening play and strategy. There are 70 games
in this book, selected from all stages of Reti's career. Early
games show the budding of Reti's almost phenomenal positional
skills and his rise to status of great master with first prize wins
at Kaschau and the international tournament of Gothenburg, 1920.
There are many games from the tournaments of 1922, during the
development of the Reti and the English openings including
Reti-Rubinstein 1923, Reti-Becker 1923, Reti - Bogolyubov 1924, and
his stunning defeat of Capablanca in 1924. The games from 1925 to
his premature death in 1929 show his further development and number
among them many which made the chess world sit up and take notice.
Fifteen of Reti's most interesting composed endgames are also
included. There is a short memoir and expert annotation by Harry
Golombek. For this edition Raymond Keene has written a new
Introduction.
It is well known and researched, that deprivation of oxygen to the
brain can quickly result in irreversible damage and death. What is
less well known, is that some vertebrate species are exceptionally
tolerant of brain hypoxia. This text discusses the mechanisms of
brain hypoxia tolerance in these exceptional vertebrates, which
include diving marine mammals, high altitude dwellers and the
hibernating mammal. Special attention is given to the extraordinary
adaptations that allow a few turtle and fish species to tolerate
months of brain anoxia.
