Its an idea that i learnt from one of Silmans books that its often a good idea to get
good doubled pawns, in this instance playing 7...Be6, if white takes Bxe6 we play
...fxe6 and we have great central control, the f file is opened and whites queen move is
looking rather more dubious than before.
No doubt it can be OK if White should play Bxe6 all the time.
However Pawn Riot does not play Bxe6 unless it leads to a clear +.
Game 6370298 & Game 4611539 are just two examples.
More Quick wins with Pawn Riots 3.Qf3 (The move theory forgot).
It's not in Lane's of Harding's book on the Bishop's Opening.
(good notes Rag).
the two positions that you cited GP appear to me to be completely different for
blacks Kings bishop in both instances is placed upon c5 making not only Qg3 both
possible and desirable but also Na5 once the dark squared bishop is blocked outside
the chain, never the less, if pawn riot refused the exchange it simply means that
...d5 is even more easier to get in,
pawn riot v nallapuh (modified at move 7)
and me thinks black is better

Thanks to all for the encouraging feedback 🙂
Hi Robbie.
If you are going to tamper with the site's No.1 player's games
then do try to give him some good moves.
Not 9.Bxd5? but the bog standard 9.exd5 with Qg3 in the wind,
Not you fault.
As a Colle player the finer points of the position are above you.
When Black gets in d5 in 1.45 e5 openings it does not ALWAYS equalise.
If you put your white King's Bishop on c4 then it would get a nose bleed. 😉
(Though to be fair it's better than the original game and equals is close
I'd take both sides here.)
I have PR playing this 3.Qf3 16 times on here W15. Lost 1.
(his one loss was the first time he played it on here, he has since
refined it into an off-beat tool.)

laboratory hidden far in the hills, these ill conceived plans! whether ol pawn riot
plays exd5 is neither here nor there GP me ol son, black is good to go! Qg3?
..Nh5!! and just to demonstrate the real way to play this opening, here is a game i
played today against my little chess computer, Orion 6 in 1, which has a rating at
the very most of 1400 i think, you will note the beautiful Colle style pawn formation!
robbie da fox v orion 6 in 1
today it dawned on me while playing my little computer that i much prefer OTB
chess, I like that feeling of instantly knowing why a move is wrong, whether its
from our side or our opponents side, the realisation is tremendous.
Hi Robbie.
If you are up for OTB chess then join one of the clubs in your area.
It's the way to go.
That game v Orien (playing computers is bad for you, I heard a good player
say that once.) 😉 Your Bishop never moved again. (I told you it would
get a nose bleed) and those Knights on d2 & e2. Good grief.
Oh and by the way.
The first recorded Colle pawn formation you will find in the games of one
Howard Staunton played in 1842.
I see your wee trap but it is a loaded dice.
sigh. . . . .GP, why must i play chess on higher principles and still get robbed by some cheapo tactic! those knights are pure Nimzowitsch, over protection of key strategical points my son, they may look passive to the uninitiated eye, but in reality they are beasts! Never read ol Nimzos book, dont know where i picked the idea up from! Probably in the foreword to a Petrosian or a Karpov book i reckon.
As for the position after ...Na5 and the queen manoeuvre picking up the e pawn and the knight black looks almost busted!

23.Rxc3 by PR was brilliant.
Turing a defensive move Bc1 into the knife of the attack.
Lovely calculation.
I'm knocking together a blog of some of PR's combo's like I did with
Skeets and I find myself just enjoying the games forgetting what I'm
meant to be doing.
Have 6 - not too hard.
