(Too much a prude to check, naturally.) My friends at whitehouse.org (most former or present Park Slopians and some of the funniest people you'll ever meet) have most enjoyed all the email they get from idiots who visit their parody site and STILL think it's the real White House site. The outrage!<br /><br />FYI, nobody has ever improved on good old Znosko-Borovsky's reaction to the Colle of loading up on the c-file. If all my books weren't in boxes I'd find the one of his with the examples...<br /><br />Saludos, MigUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14524874971912910658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-69793728245918866212009-09-16T18:31:55.983-04:002009-09-16T18:31:55.983-04:00How much respect is sir Ilya due/

Nbd2 Nc6<br />7.c3 Be7 and they pretty much kicked it's ass, one of the points being 8.e4?! cxd4! 9.cxd4?!

Nf3 Nf6 3. e3 c6<br /><br />and if 4. Bd3 then Bg4, and if 4. c4 then we'll play a Slav kind of thing.<br /><br />4. Ne5 aiming for something Stonewallish arguably takes advantage of c6 when c5 is preferable, but anything from a double stonewall with Ne4 to <br />a basic kingside fianchetto seems okay to me.<br /><br />if the goal of a Colle player is to get that e4 push easily and not play c4 without a material weakness, then this system is good to take the game out of that.Gurdonarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14808311825546186934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8556305125957341024.post-4250545506882099672009-09-12T23:50:05.424-04:002009-09-12T23:50:05.424-04:00I like the line from How to Beat 1. d4 by Jim Rizz...I like the line from How to Beat 1. d4 by Jim Rizzitano: In short, ... d5, ...
