Excelente video y explicación. ¿Habría alguna manera que tus videos estuvieran traducidos al español?
Another good video. Thanks Igor 👍
Your videos are excellent!
Your videos are highly great
I am about to cross 1000 rating through ur content
Hey, you showed my comment! Nice. This is almost as cool as when GothamChess told me on Twitch I was a good parent for letting my young son swear. I’m like the world’s greatest extra in random chess videos.
Englund Gambit.
I kept staring at your cat and had to re-watch the video multiple times 😂.
It's 😍.
black pawn to F5 ruins the whole opening

Very helpful
Wonderful!!!!! if only possible…try to slow down your speech…i kindly hard to catch up with your words…just that…but the rest…very nice…no doubt……Thanks again sir!!! more power to you…
I will not remember this.
That … cxd4 variation seems to go into something like a QGD (orthodox) Exchange Variation with colours reversed. Which makes me wonder if Black might have a shot at a minority attack in some situations.
What if the black bishop goes Bxf3 after Bg4 ?
how to play against Italian Opening in 10 minutes please.
How do you counter fianchetto with this system
I love SGM IGOR!!!
You have a cute co-star on the mantle behind you. Meow.
Excellent. Thank you
Ok but what if black places his bishop on d6 and rook on e8 and pushes his e pawn ♟
what must man play if the black have this position Qc7 and Bd6 ;
can u say me pls the best defense for a white on this possition(small cancel already)
thaanks a lot
Is this a cat video?
I can imagine that cat saying to itself: "such a lazy dude, talking to a screen…come feed me slave!"
Hi Igor love your work. I have reviewed both of your Colle videos. What is better Re1 or Qe2?
Or does it vary according to what Blacks plays.
Take Care Be Well Gordon
I’m going to put forward the argument that watching Igor is even better than watching Tony, as sleeping cat < sleeping dog.
🙂
Hi there! First of all, I’m a big fan of yours 😊! At 9:33, what if, after h4, comes Be4 attacking my Rook on h1? Whenever I face this counterattack, I pretty much lose every game, due to an avalanche of the following attacks, and because it damages the whole structure altogether. Is there any other moves, such as f3 (blocking the queen and delaying development) or maybe sacrificing the rook in order to concoct a counter-counterattack, so to speak, as there’ll be g5 or h5, h6, and possibly Qg4, Qh5, or whatever (even taking the knight, when people blunder in blitz games). Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that! Kind regards from this Brazilian noob who watches every video you post 😊😊😊
The colle is so cool
How is your cat always in the same spot?
You are the best coach of all!!!!!!!!!
I really LOVE this opening, but I notice things break down somewhat when black's bishop moves to D-4 and then when threatened by the pawn, it takes the knight. If I take the bishop with my pawn, it opens up a clear lane for my castled king to be threatened and if I take it with the queen, the pawn advance to E-4 takes my bishop. I've played these options out in various permutations but I wonder what the best option is once my knight is taken?
Great video, can you make an other video about the colle system with Black you mentioned it as slav defense?
Which is more aggressive? the Colle system or the London system? And why?
I love this system! but what do u think of the hippo? would u recommend that?
I realise in your other video you suggest Re1 after castling. Here you suggest Qe2. Both attack on the e file, but which is better? Which on should I stick to?
What if Black plays f5 like in the Dutch?
What if early on black plays pawn C5 instead of Knight to C3, attacking Whites bishop in D6?
What if Black plays Ne7 protecting the other Nc6 Knight instead of Nf6?
I'm going to name my next cat Colle.
This opening is working well for me…beating 1500 elo level computer opponent. I move my pawn to e4, and it often does not take it, so I move the pawn forward to e5. This opens up my right side, and I can often checkmate, usually after a bishop or knight sacrifice.
