Colle System

Hm, nice line, I might try using that - the problem I have is that a lot of white players play stuff like 2.Nc3 and just devlop randomly. Not that white's going to gain a huge advantage in those lines, but it's not like I can just win with no effort either.

usually a d4 player who does 2. Nc3 has no clue wth he is doing, and thus, planless. In other words, 0-1.

I find those players are sometimes very strong tactically - i.e. they have no clue how to play the opening, but they know tactics very well, because they replaced opening study with tactical study.

edit: nvm

you should be crushing them going into the middlegame so just tread carefully on the path to victory (wait...tactical + 1. d4 2. Nc3 = paradoxical)
