At the time of the modern chess school some of its top representatives like Emmanuel Lasker, Siegbert Tarrasch, Akiba Rúbinstein and other young chess players from Eastern Europe promote a new way of playing that goes against the modern School. It is the hypermodern School, whose major representatives were: the Czech Richard Réti, the Hungarian Gyula Bréyer, the Russian-French Savielly Tartákover, the Latvian-Danish Aaron Nímzovitch, the Austrian Ernst Grünfeld and even the Russian-French Alexander Alekhine. >

The essence of the hypermodern School calls into question the dogmas of the Modern School. It broadened the horizons of the game, with new theoretical contributions that did not deny the importance of the center, although they advocated an innovative way to control it remotely, without occupying it, with the bishops in fianchetto. In this way the center could be attacked with the horses and the side peones.

These new ideas were presented by Reti in numerous works, but two stand out, "New ideas in chess" (Ideen im Schachspiel), 1921, and "The great masters of the board" (Die Meister des Schachbretts) 1930. These are two books in the evolution of chess.

Nezovich, Grünfeld and Aliojin will create new defensive systems for openings. Reti investigated a wide variety of openings for whites that bore fruit in his opening Reti. He was a remarkable chess player and a great composer of finals, nevertheless never was champion of the world and is that lived in the time of Aliojin and Capablanca. Although the participation of hypermodernists in chess and their performance has been brilliant none has managed to be world champion with the exception of Alexander Alekhine. Bibliography
