The opening is determined by playing a game backward. The first classified position found in the game determines the opening. For something usable you need probably > 1000 of these positions. Nf3 d5 c4 is not “Reti”, if for example white plays d4 somewhere in the next moves. Ge

> "Zukertort Opening" for the opening "1.Nf3", not "Reti", because the Reti system is the move order "1.Nf3 d5 2.c4". I thought Zukertort was 1. Nf3 d5 2. d4 (à la Kramnik) , while Réti was 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4, the Nimzo-Larsen could be obtained through 1. Nf3 and 2. b3. Since 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. c4 leads t
