The menacing Colle & Zukertort System for the Club Player! - DOWNLOAD
One of the simplest openings for White to learn, and one of the most frustrating ones for Black to face! With the moves d4-Nf3-e3-Bd3 White aims for simple piece development and to slowly build up a devastating attack on the kingside!
In this course, two main setups are explained in detail. The Colle-Koltanowski, named after Edgard Colle and George Koltanowski - who developed the system in the 1920s, is based on the move c2-c3 followed by Nbd2 and the pawn break e3-e4.

One of the simplest openings for White to learn, and one of the most frustrating ones for Black to face! With the moves d4-Nf3-e3-Bd3 White aims for simple piece development and to slowly build up a devastating attack on the kingside!
In this course, two main setups are explained in detail. The Colle-Koltanowski, named after Edgard Colle and George Koltanowski - who developed the system in the 1920s, is based on the move c2-c3 followed by Nbd2 and the pawn break e3-e4. The alternative approach with b2-b3 and fianchettoing the dark-squared bishop is called the Zukertort System and contains much more venom than one may think at first! Both systems are very easy to learn, and hence, a favorite among club players. No learning loads of opening theory, just a simple game plan to go quickly for the kill! Whichever setup you pick: White’s position has a strong foundation, no weaknesses and a firm grip over the centre so we are ready to rock & roll! In this course, all the thematic sacrifices, manoeuvres and other attacking motifs are illustrated by classical games from the past and recent top grandmasters encounters alike!
