The Colle-Koltanowski System DVD

En ny DVD som gir aktuell status anno 2019 for ulike Colle-systemer som hvit kan spille. Hvit starter oftest med d4, Sf3, e3 og Ld3, men ikke helt uavhengig av svarts oppstilling. Her handler det både om varianter der hvit åpner for angrep med e3-e4 og Colle-Zukertort med b3 og Lb2.

ChessBase sin omtale:

A real favorite among club players. The Colle-Koltanowski system (playing d4, Nf3, e3, Bd3 and eventually b3) is very easy to learn, yet an extremely dangerous opening. White goes for a simple set up, aiming all of his pieces towards Black’s kingside. White doesn’t need to rely on learning reams of opening theory to master this opening, therefore suiting players who do not want to spend their entire spare time reading, watching and learning thirty moves of theory.

In this DVD, GM Simon Williams shows you the key themes, concentrating on plans that you can remember easily. This approach should give you a deadly weapon that is a brilliant accompanying DVD to the London System and Torre Attack.

• Video running time: 5 hours (English) • With interactive training including video feedback • Exclusive database with model games • Including CB 15 Reader
