Both players made an unadventurous draw in the previous game of this match and decided a win a tie break. Reti doesn't promise White much, they want have a player later in the game with equal chances guaranteeing sufficient material on board.
Cordova Emilio - Utegaliyev Azamat, Reti opening, Aeroflot open 2020
In modern times the Réti refers only to the configuration Nf3 and c4 by White with ...d5 by Black, where White fianchettos at least one bishop and does not play an early d4.[5]
After 2.c4 (ECO code A09), Black's choices are:
2...e6 or 2...c6 (holding the d5-point)
2...dxc4 (giving up the d5-point)
2...d4 (pushing the pawn)
If Black takes the pawn, then in the same manner as the QGA, 3.e3 or 3.e4 regain the pawn with a slight advantage to White, as Black is left somewhat undeveloped. 3.Na3 and 3.Qa4+ are also good, and commonly played. This variety of White options limits the popularity of 2...dxc4. Trying to protect the pawn with 3...b5?! allows 4.a4! leaving white with a superior position. The alternatives - 2...d4, 2...c6, and 2...e6 - are more common, with the latter two generally leading to a Queen's Gambit type of position, and 2...d4 typically being answered with 3.e3 (sometimes leading to the Blumenfeld Gambit) or the interesting 3.b4!?
