Masters of the Chessboard - Reti for the people!

Richard Reti was my first favorite player, and I made approximately 600 Reti threads in 2014 or so. But I never got around to reading his classic Masters of the Chessboard. This is, in large part, because an older version of the book is freely available in PDF...........in descriptive notation. So it seemed like a simple, public domain find, but wading through DN is a bit of a chore for those of us native to algebra, and it's particularly difficult for beginners.

A real pity, because this book is unbelievable, and much of it is geared directly toward beginners!

My goal here is to help beginners access this wonderful work of chess literature without having to buy a newer edition or having to learn descriptive notation. I've made diagrams for the first bit of the first chapter and can do more if there's interest

Here's a scan of the first English printing: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxILtRDcxKmeYzM4YTI0OWItMWFjMy00ZmRkLWJiN2UtNmZlYTc1MTE1OWRk/edit

These are the variations he's describing:

KING'S GAMBIT, FIRST VAR

KING'S GAMBIT, SECOND VAR

KING'S GAMBIT, THIRD VAR

GAME 1

I downloaded the pdf and read the first few pages and the book looks very interesting

Thanks for your efforts on this - 4 years too late I know but better late than never..
