The Ultimate Colle : chess opening for white #2

Superb presentation, Ive been playing since 1982 and have an ELO 1900 and have to say thats one sharp opening. Its just so strong from the first 5 moves! I once played years ago teh London Evening Standard champion and on whire I beat him with Colle, you should have seen his face ! Great stuff, well done

Hi great videos, can you also advice what to play if black decides to play the kings Indian or Grunfled or c5

Hi MSK Chess! Please, could you inform me the name of the players, the year and the tournament in which this match was played? Thank you very much!

Black was obviously a much weaker player. He made several mistakes, which allowed white to penetrate his king's position. A timely h6 would have prevented that entire attack. Right after Colle played Bb1 would have been a good time to play it, forcing the white bishop to either trade or retreat to a much weaker post. If he exchanged bishops, then black's queen would have been able to recapture and his defense would have been in good shape, with a pawn and queen defending the g5 square. Nf4 was also a poor choice, where he could have played h6 instead. I'm not knocking the Colle System though. I play it sometimes, myself. It's just that this game is a poor example of defending against it and might lead experienced players into a false sense of security.

Excellent! I'm loving the Colle so far! This is the second video I've watched by you today on this opening. You have a new subscriber and I'll be back to learn more.

Thumbs way up!

Can't you play a reverse meran with 1 tempo up ?

I've been playing for a long, long time now and still find your presentations very insightful and helpful as well as enjoyable to listen to.  I've watched most of them by now.  I would disregard any negative comments you receive, since they are very short-sighted..

It was a very nice presentation, but just a side comment, why Master Colle, it sounded a bit like Lord of The Ring.

One word for your work: Waaauw! I suck up your knowledge and will release it back out on the board, the next time I play. I feel "zen".

I do my best to play 1.d4 as much as I play 1.e4. I have won quite a few games with the d4 opening in like 12 moves or so.

hi Phillip, so much more to come :D

Beautiful game! Thanks for presenting us.
