- The Colle system gives white a solid center and a slow developing, but dangerous, kingside attack. The games I used as examples are:
Colle-O'Hanlon 1930 - www.chessgames....
Koltanowski-NN 1954 - www.chessgames....
Koltanowski-NN 1941 - www.chessgames....
Colle-Capablanca 1929 - www.chessgames....
This video explains the Colle opening better than anything else I've tried. Thanks for a clear, easy going presentation!
Iam learning the colle system. Thank you for this and greetings from Nairobi, Kenya
best video iv found explaining the Colle system.
This is an awesome system!
Thanks Jim.
From Wikipedia (chess openings):
Richter-Veresov Attack (or Veresov Opening ECO D01) is a chess opening that begins with the moves: 1.d4 d5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3.Bg5
After 3.Bg5, Black's most popular choices are 3...Nbd7, 3...e6, 3...Bf5, 3...c6, and 3...c5, all potentially leading to different variations.
The Torre Attack is a chess opening characterized by the moves:
1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 e6 3. Bg5 (ECO code A46)
Hope this helps :-)
You sir, are the Bob Ross of chess. Also, I think the proper pronunciation of colle is "covfefe".
What are you talking about? Colle sounds like Covfefe???? Then I guess Justin Wright sounds like Justnot Wrong.
LaurensVRC ohhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHIT
I'd never heard of Koltanowski -- blindfolded AND simultaneous?! -- but found him at Wikipedia, which includes: "Koltanowski set the world's blindfold record on 20 September 1937, in Edinburgh, by playing 34 chess games simultaneously while blindfolded." Meanwhile, I struggle with open eyes and only one chessboard at a time. The human mind is amazing.
Excellent lesson on the Colle -- thank you!
I am impressed from your selection of games and explainations. Good channel, glad i subscribed.
14:30 Nxf7 wins the queen with a family fork
Yes, that also wins.
I would be interested, in seeing when it is beneficial to play the Colle, Torre Attack, or Trompowski.
That's a hard question!. First, it is white's choice to play those openings, so you have to have white. Second, sometimes it requires black's cooperation to play the opening, for example to get a Trompowski, you need black to play Nf6 after you play d4. Third, you might choose an opening for different reasons.
By this I mean, you might choose to play the Colle because it suits your style, or because you think it will pose problems for your opponent. Or you might choose it because it's not your usual style, but you want to gain experience playing something different.
To decide if an opening suits you or not, you can check out example games, especially master level games, in the opening. This will teach you typical ways to proceed and resulting positions. Then try to decide if you would be comfortable playing those positions. Do the moves seem natural to you? Or are they obscure and hard to understand?
Lastly, there is nothing better than just trying out an opening by playing it to see if you like it. You should persist a bit, and ignore the first few losses. Learning a new opening often lands you in new situations and you need to gain some experience to really play them.
Thank you for your quick reply.
First viewing of one of your videos. Well done! Subbed. But it's or system. Lazy tongues pronounce only the 1st syllable.
I've been a kingcrusher fan almost exclusively, but I really enjoyed you and your video. thank you.
joexpoe Apple Juice!
Excellent video. Btw, the e isn't silent. It's Col lee
Excellent lesson, thanks, and made me a subscriber. At 14:40, though, why does White capture the bishop, Rxd6? Why not Nxf7, forking the Black king, queen AND rook?! I'm a novice, and must be missing something obvious. Oh, a few seconds later, I see: if Black's queen had captured the rook, Black would then play Nxf7 and have the same triple fork ... but picking up a free bishop.
Jim. At 7:23 i think you picked the wrong plan. Instead of b5?! Black needs to play e5! And have an active position from there. Reading colle system move by move and it said that in certain games. Also, in my experience with playing magnus 13 on android he played e5 against me.
Thanks for another excellent video. I knew Capa's history well enough to know he didn't lose this game, but I did not remember the game, itself. The annotation was quite helpful.
it seems to me the key is the e4 square. Who ever can get that move in will be leading into the middlegame.
I've heard the pronunciation as "Call-uh" as well.
nice work!
I hope you will get more views !
When I play the Colle set-up Black never responds e6 before playing Bg4. Are there any good games to look at to deal with this response?
Thanks for your question! In general, when black develops the queenside bishop before playing e6, it weakens black's queenside. White can often get some play against the center and queenside with moves like c4, Nc3, and Qb3. This does take you away from typical Colle ideas, however, often transposing to a Slav defense or a Queen's gambit line. Here's a game that features this setup: www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1689481
I have had black make an early c4 move too
At 14:31, why not NxF7(dbl ch!) forking K and Q? Game is over.
Yes, that also wins.
Tom Strutt 4 Way fork
Why would you play the “triangle“ if hes already got c5? He can block your bishops development with c4. Also why not show one example if black plays g6 and Bg7?
1) If black plays c5 to c4 before white gets in Bd3, then white plays b3 to attack black's center and free his bishop. This is good for white. If black waits for Bd3 then hits it with c5 to c4, the bishop drops back to c2, staying on the diagonal towards black's kingside. Then white continues with his usual plan of e3 to e4, and black has taken some pressure off the center. So black doesn't usually play this way.
2) g6/Bg7 is an interesting way for black to defend, sorry I didn't cover it.
@@JimsChessChannel no worries!! I run into a lot as a counter online to this opening so thanks for the detailed reply 😁
the call system
Thank you very much. I sub, liked and commented : Video paid for.
c pawn needs to move out of the way? Or you mean the e pawn? At 17:47
Yes, that's right, I meant the e pawn.
Isn’t the London system better since you can develop your dark square bishop?
Developing the dark squared bishop is a key idea of the Colle system as well, it's development is just delayed. So neither system is better, it is just a matter of taste.
If black goes e5 first, white got nothing. Worked through it today.
maybe is a dumb question but at 14:27 why not take on f7 with the knight ? Is a triple fork..
Yes, that's a good move too.
Nice👍
I gotta be somewhere tomorrow morning at 9
Nah, just a bad london In my opinion.
It's pronounced "Coallay", not "call"
Thanks Norman, I actually researched the pronunciation just for this video, and I couldn't find any definitive source. Are you from Belgium? Colle was born in Ghent, which is in the Flemish region of Belgium. Going by the Flemish pronunciation guide, you would be correct, except that the final syllable would be "uh" rather than "ay".
I like your laid back commentary and choice of games. These systems are good fun and make a change from the usual openings. 😎👍♟️
