TRANSPOSITION
RETI'S OPENING to ENGLISH OPENING

White rejected early occupation of the centre but advanced his QBP to contest Black's Q4(d5).
Black advances his own QBPawn for similar reasons, transposing into the Anti-Benoni variation of the Symmetrical English Opening, a line that can lead into the Sicilian Accelerated Dragon. B-Alt.
