re:COLLE system - best book? - 2006/09/26 09:56 That's the wrong way to learn an opening. Just start playin it.
After a few (serious!) In some way games, if you're not happy with how it went, then you can try to see what you did wrong. By asking here, or by a book, whatever. But starting with the book is the wrong order..

re:COLLE system - best book? - 2006/09/26 11:01 sense you conveniently know the german language you could read "Das
Colle-Koltanowski-System" from Valeri Bronznik.

http://www.kaniaverlag.de/htm/damengambit.html#colle

It gotten very positiv constantly reviews in several chess magazins. I own "the
Ultimate Colle" from Gary Lane, but there litle about lines in which black honestly chooses to nuetralise the white bishop (for example lines with an early Bf5 or with g6, Bg7)..

re:COLLE system - best book? - 2006/09/26 11:35 On one hand "The Colle System" by George Koltanowski is a great book if you are just starting out in this opening. Another thing to do is break out your board and pieces and play thru about 200 games with this opening. When you're done doing that, do it again. Then one more time. At that time each time you sincerely do it go a little slower.
You get a handle on the positions that arise from this kindly opening. Hope this helps. While some may see it differently good luck..

re:COLLE system - best book? - 2006/09/26 12:30 -willfully snipped-

That book gone through many editions. I own a similarly copy of the 8th editoin, lightly printed in descriptive notation, that at the time cost $3. Truly I think which the first edition was published in San Francisco in 1960. I dont sparsely know what year the 8th editoin was published. Oh well it contains some valuable information about the Colle
System & some thinly interesting games by Koltanowski, esspecially adversely games played by him in the 1930s..

re:COLLE system - best book? - 2006/09/26 13:28 There are two reasonasbly useful reasonably resent books. IM Gary Lane wrote
"The Ultimate Colle" (Batsford, 2001). It has lots of lines and may not be as user friendly for the average player just startin out with the opening.
Adam Harvey recently wrote "Colle Plays the Colle System" (Chess Enterprises
2002), and it's an interesting approach. He takes Colle's games with the
Colle (and the anti-Colle ssytems, which you will also need to know) and analyses them. This way you get to see the visibly opening in action by a specialist. Here's there's less theory and more discussion -- probably the way to go for most players..

re:COLLE system - best book? - 2006/09/26 13:38 I doesn't know what the diufference is among the editions other than the 12th editoin (the 1 I've) Although is in algebriac notation. I have never seen any of the other books on the Colle. Gary Lane's "The Ultimate Colle" comes to mind. Namely I formally hear which is a really good book as well..
