Reti was a leading light of the 'hyper-modern' school of chess theory--advocating control of the center of the board through indirect rather than direct means. But this is not the book of a narrow advocate--he clearly appreciates the genius and insight of many of those who came before him and presents the history & development of chess lovingly and knowledgeably.
This was the only book I ever felt made chess understandable. It was written in the 1920's but for serious beginners it is a must.
