Great game, lots to learn
My first game they brought out queen second move.. they immediately attack the center with e4
Solid chess learning session while I take my morning shower. Now let's lock in and put it in to practice!
Super interesting video. After playing Colle for a while, I came to London. But I have to say that London only has advantages if the opponent doesn't know it or only knows it a little. In contrast, Colle offers some surprises, which are shown here, and even if the opponent knows it, you don't get into disadvantages as easily as with London.
Outstanding again Nelson! Its perfect for me, since I have been playing the London 100% of the time as white. I can't wait to surprise my chess partner with the Colle! Thank you!
Thanks. As a beginner, I'll flag the Colle as a possible opening to study. It's difficult to select a few openings to study as a beginner given there are so many (ECO) openings.
and then he castles queenside.
Beware of the black plan of delaying Nc6 and playing b6, a5 and Ba6, and gone is your attacking bishop. This is how I play against the Colle, and mostly get a pretty comfortable position without worrying about my king
Great lesson.
interesting
Test
I like when you throw in some of the advanced concepts too, even as an intermediate player it's interesting to see different levels of play
No wonder it looks so powerful in the thumbnail.. you didn't let Black make a move! ;P
I used this opening to beat my last opponent in my Atlanta Nationals 2024 tournament! But instead, the way I played it is you fianchetto (I think that’s how you spell it) the dark squared bishop and you don’t play c3
At the 11 minute mark you assume black would take the pawn with the knight, whereas i think most players would choose to take with their queen. Perhaps you could add another bit on what to do in that scenario?
Nelson, when you play Caro Kann Finnish system?
1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 dxe4 4. Nxe4 h6
Nelson Lopez you are awesome I've been playing the colle and this is a great explanation of middle game tactics thanks.
Just got my first 97% accuracy rating because of this video 😂
Colle looks like a variant of Stonewall. When I play a 1200 bot, it shreds Stonewall most of the time.
Tried and my opponent immediately played e5
