This famous study has an interesting story.
It first appeared with the well known diagram
(as shown above,) composer uncredited in a chess
column by Becker on the 11th September 1921.
A few months later on the 4th of December 1921
Reti himself published it but used this diagram
With Black to play.
It appears that Reti composed the idea and
showed it to a few friends. Becker got hold of
it thought it looked better with his diagram,
the one that is now days printed all the books.
Reti did not know it had been published before
and used his original setting with Black to play.

I did not know that 😄
Thanks
Edit, I do agree with Becker about his alteration looking better but he shouldn't have copied Reti's idea.
