Rétifence- An opening in a fence
Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.

Reti? Wasn't he a chess player? Who would want to peddle stuff they stole from him?

Apparently he was a chess player. I have no idea, in answer to your question. I don't play, nor do I follow chess. I just combined The Reti Opening with Gabriel Oaks poor luck at the beginning of Far From The Madding Crowd. Coincidence I watched the movie on Thursday or Friday (HBO) and thought it went well with the quote by Sir Alan Bates.
Fact checking, I just now noticed that he, too, died of cancer at age 69. Strange enough for this week.
