Anyone here play the Colle System? It is my main opening as white. I seem to do fairly well with it against average players like myself, but against stronger players I usually only get an equal game at best. Any Colle experts here? I'd like to discuss the pros and cons of the system
I've had the same problem - I had my computer (which is much better and less blunder-prone than I am) play some Colle openings against itself and most of them ended up draws. Looking at the games it seemed that after the opening piece exchanges, white doesn't have enough to really make headway unless black makes a mistake. At the same time, if you're playing a stronger opponent, maybe that's not such a bad thing (I'd settle for a draw against a better player).
There is some good Colle stuff here:
