Reti Rampage - The Opening of The Future

The Reti Opening, once dubbed "The Opening of the Future" by Savielly Tartakower, is defined by this move right here. As you can see, by committing a knight to f3, we control the center (thus preventing e5), and commit Black to a concrete plan before White does. Thus, this makes the opening a very flexible opening and a good one for beginners to learn.
