“Some background. i play most of my chess in over the board games.
i use this site to test ideas out and try new oppenings,and to make
the mistakes and learn here rather than in my over the board games.
i have played the Colle system alot,and have alot of experience with it.

1)d4...e6
invites white to a French defence.
2)nf3...d5
3)e3...nf6
4)bd3...bd6
normally4)...c5 is played to put pressure on d4 to slow white down.
5)nb1d2 nc6
6)c3...h6
i thought,Marc,when you played this and7)...a6,you might have been
better playing instead to develope your pieces.
7)castle kingside...a6
8)e4
this is the key move in the Colle system,which as been described as a
kingside opening that starts1)d4
threatens9)e5 forking black's bishop and knight.
8)...dxe4
9)nxe4...nc6d7.
normally black exchanges the knight on e4.
10)re1...b5
11)nxd6...qxd6
12)bd2
wasn't sure about this as it pins white's d pawn to the bishop,and then
black can play c5 to attack the white centre.
12)...Bb7
When black plays...Bb7,white trys for ne5 followed by f4
but here after ne5 black can play qd5 threatening mate and pressure
on g2.
13)b3
a waiting move to see where black is to put his king
13)...castles queenside
Marc and i both agree this is a costly mistake.black's
qeenside pawns are advanced and white's queenside pawns
have already set off.castle king side would be an even game.
14)a4
the plan is simple.the qside pawns rush forward to open
files for the white queen and rooks to occupy when the black king will
be facing them.
14...c6
15)axb5...axb5
opens the a file
16)c4...nd7
leads to the loss of the b pawn
17)cxb5...cxb5
opens the c file
18)Bxb5...nc6
19)qc2
pins the knight to the king
19)...nf6
20)Re1-c1
attacks the knight again
20)kd7
the knight is still pinned
21)ne5+
attacks the knight again.anything that cant move will suffer violence
21)...ke7
22)Bxc6...rc8
pins the bishop to the queen
23)ra7
pins the bishop to king,and attacks it again
23)...rc7
24)rxb7...rxb7
25)Bxb7...rd8
leads to the loss of the exchange
26)qc7+
as white is up on material,s wantsto exchange pieces
26)...nd7
27)qxd6...kxd6
28)nf7+
forks king and knight
28)...ke7
29)nxd8
1-0

I am real good friends with GM Yasser Seirawin...and i recommend
his "Winning" series to all beginners...very straightforward and easy to
grasp.

"Play Winning Chess" is the first...I say go with that first. After that go
with the rest of the series...they will help you alot.

again thanks for the advise dave

about the book offer. the chess bug hasn?t bit me yet (not exactly true). if i
am still playing in a couple of months time then i know it has. if that happens
after this book the next thing on my list is a nice big bad boy yellow star next
to my name and the t-shirt to go with it (and if the budget allows a mug is
well. We british like our tea when playing chess lol. But as a british/scotsman
it will properly be filled with beer. it will properly improve my game, it can?t
get any worse) and then if i enjoyed the first book i will take you up on your
offer if it?s still there.

Alexis, Jock,Glad you found the game instructive.I am a sassenach. i
know that mug wont have beer in it,it will have the finest malt.
How about we play two unrated games. one white, one black,and i
drop hints.if i dont pass on the bug,you can feed me to Nessie.
