I want to learn the Reti opening and would be most obliged if those of you that know the opening could post common lines, themes, and what to look out for. Thanks!

This is pretty what I know about the Reti right now.

I don't know much about the reti, I thought all the knights were brought out first.  I prefer the english, kings gambit, the scotch.  I might have to check into the reti myself

e3 in that position transposes to a queens gambit accepted.

3.... Nf6 4. Bxc4 e6 5. d4 c5

Reading the "Dynamic Reti" by Davies right now : )

The book is a bit outdated already -

seeing what Davies recommend against 1.Nf3 f5, he recommends something like 2.g3 (my memory gets fuzzy), but theory now considers 2.d3 to be the strongest answer, if not, a refutation to 1.Nf3 f5?! (I play the Dutch Leningrad, so I should know that... (I hope))

But otherwise, a very interesting book, and a very interesting opening!
