And question: I know system means that you develop by scheme and somewhat ignoring your opponent. But what if he tries to transpose, for example to benoni by 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 c5 ??? Should I follow my Colle idea. I like this system very much and in Logical chess plan behind this opening is described very nice!
So this is now one of few openings which plan I really understand. What are your thoughts?
Game 2818553
i wanted to keep my white bishop on to keep as much pressure on e4 and their king's side, it proved useful as i knew as soon as i played e3-e4 the game would open up for me, which is the main idea behind the colle.

Originally posted by soulbycxd4 is usual however to keep the knight out of b4 (which loses time for white) and also to open up the c1-h6 diagonal. I play the BDG as well so I like that diagonal open. Nice game however!

I played this system firstly with my friend two days ago, he has 1850 FIDE rating but he found himself in difficulties on his kingside in the opening. Later he recovered and slaughtered me, but he told me that it was pretty effective opening. I like all that pressurizing of the e4 square... Thanks for your games guys I will try to have good look at them! Any more games?
Question for strong players: should white ignore black development if it interfere with this system, like this f5 bishop from game submitted by mipmcpt?
What should white do? I mean when he lets you to attack e4 than fine, but what if he does everything he can't to prevent it? Should then white find a new goal or insist on disputing e4?
