A09 Réti Opening: 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 (1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 d4)

I remember vaguely experimenting with this line with the black pieces some years ago but I have no real feel to it and I can't remember what happened in those games. This game is part of a tournament called tedjj's mini-tournament XLIII. That tournament is going as badly as it can go for me, I had to resign one more game only a moment ago. Now it looks like that I will end the year in a loss, well at least on this site. The only game I have won in this tournament is the game you see below. I have added ten more puzzles today divided in to mate in one, two, three, four and five pages.
