🔹 The Most Underrated Chess Opening (Colle System) –
🔹 Learn This Aggressive Chess Opening in 10 Minutes! [Universal & Powerful] –
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov will present to you a revised and improved version of the Colle System chess opening, as a continuation to the past videos about the same opening. You will learn the simple-to-learn and most powerful variations from this opening along with some deadly traps.
The Colle System, as the name suggested, is an opening setup. Therefore, White’s moves are pretty standard: the center pawns are developed to 1.d4 2.Nf3 3.e3 4.Bd3 5.c3 and is usually continued with 6.Nbd2 and 7.0-0.
You will also learn when to make the e4 pawn break at the center and start a powerful kingside attack that checkmates the Black’s king.

You are the absolute best at teaching/showing chess openings on YouTube. Thank you
I came up with this system when I was in high school. Glad to see a GM verifying it's validity!
In a board game bar in Wash, DC , an opponent (probably USCF 1700) fianchettoed (a Grunfeld setup) and got a good game, but somehow let me eventually undermine his king safety after a couple of imprecise moves. A lot of times you just have to play better chess, when an opponent finally makes a [positionally inconsistent move in the middle game after a good opening.
Great vid. Does the Colle work against the KID too?
Good teaching.
Is there any variations against kings indian defence?
Thanks for this lesson! When the bishop moves to g4, what happens if the knight is on c6 instead of f6? I tried chasing the bishop away but found that the knight just took my knight when I moved it to e5. How would the plan change then?
Nice video
This is the best opening video at beginner level I found. Thanks a lot!
Yes, imo Koltanovski > Zukertort. Thank you
Colle against kings indian defense?
Tried against computer and he puts pawns at d5 and f5, while I was building pyramid. It prevents me from moving pawn to e4 and screws up my development. Without e4, dark square bishop is out of the game. I lost quickly. Any advice?
The drawback of this system is when the opponent castles queen side and all your attack is focused on the wrong side
I love this opening. I also learned how to crush Englund Gambit. Pretty important for D4 players😅
Lessgo ding played it in the world championship
Tanxxxx
What would be a system for black to complete a repertoire with the colle for white?
I just tried this opening and it helped me win so many games
is it just me or does this look a lot like the london system without developing the queen bishop before p-e3?

Post more systems please
I like when you say in the intro I am GM Igor 🔥
Nice video! I'll try it out down the chess club later 🙂
Will give this a try… 👍
I love this system ive been using it for a half a year now, it has improved my game accuracy
After you put your bishop on d3 what if black plays c4?
When I feel Lazy: London System
SuperLAZY: Colle System
Oh wow, thanks for reminding me about the Colle! This was the first opening I used when I first got in to online chess. Will have to revisit this one 🙂
Great content as always, but I would disagree about the Colle being the most underrated. That distinction IMHO should belong to the Richter-Veresov. The Veresov has always played 2nd fiddle to fashionable trendy openings like the Tromp or the latest rage the London. I've played it for decades and have enjoyed phenomenal success with it as most black players are not prepared and struggle to find the correct defense. It has had its GM proponents, but never enjoyed any popularity at the highest levels. Would greatly appreciate your insights on this opening.
wow!
Mr.Igor can i sugest a speed run to demostrate it on pratic?
great content, as always. I am thinking about playing this setup; however, I like the Colle-Zukertort a little more. By playing b3 you stop any annoying c5-c4 ideas (which would attack your white colored bishop) and on the next move you fianchetto the dark squared bishop. I would love to see a video about the Colle-Zukertort and perhaps a pro-con in comparison to the normal Colle setup. From my own analysis I have found that this does not work so well against a KID or any KID like setup like the Black Lion or the Pirc/Chech Pirc. I might be wrong here but could anyone suggest something for that (or disprove my analysis).
but stockfish level 4 knows how to beat this
👍😉💯
Dude you rock. I’d pay you 100 for 3hrs of teaching
Favorite opening as white by Rey Enigma!!
Играю эту систему обычно против Nf6 и e6 у чёрных, очень солидный выхлоп, надежно.
По видео – просьба, избавьтесь от этих спецэффектов, особенно звуковых. Смотрю обычно ночью, эти внезапные звуки заставляют подпрыгивать в тишине. Да и 3D ни к чему, думаю, в основном смотрят-то не дети, зачем все это.
Thank you for another great lesson!!
So like in the thumbnail you missed mate in 1 if I'm not mistaken…
What if black plays 1…,f5?
your openings doesn't really work.
That's Rey Enigma's go to system with white 🙂
Love the Colle system – thanks for the previous video on it too! You showed what to do against 3….Bg4 but what about 3…Bf5, which covers the development square for white’s bishop at the top of the pawn pyramid?
What if black plays …c4 in the opening?
