Richard Réti

Richard Réti (28 May 1889 – 6 June 1929) was an Austro-Hungarian and later Czechoslovak chess player, chess author and composer of endgame studies.

He was one of the principal proponents of hypermodernism in chess. With the exception of Nimzowitsch's book ''My System'', he is considered to be the movement's foremost literary contributor. Provided by Wikipedia
