A complete Black repertoire against the Reti Opening

The Navara Gambit by Carsten Hansen is a repertoire for Black against the Reti Opening, which begins with 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4.

The Reti was invented by Richard Reti more than a century ago. Many grandmasters and world champions have played it, and Black needs a prepared answer to it.

The main line is the Navara Gambit, 2...d4 3.b4 g5, which Czech grandmaster David Navara developed and first played in 2011. The book also covers White's 3.g3, 3.e3 and 3.d3 and rarer options such as 3.e4, 3.a3 and 3.c5.
