 Subject: Colle questionMessage: Not sure what the best reply by white is to this...any ideas for me? thanks |
| ccmcacollister 7/18/2005 19:58:38 [ report this post ] | IMO Message: But also be aware that the White side of this opening can be transposed into some nice variations of the French Defence Reversed, or close to it ... which IMO is Not a Bad Thing! As long as your B is not on d3 yet, & keeping that in mind, you really would have nothing to fear then even if BL did get in ...e5, and even ...e4 after. In that case your King Bishop would be nicely at home at Be2, or Bb5. So you can, if you wish, offer him an easier route to a Reveresed French by 2.Bb5 or Be2 then follow 2...e5 by 3.Nf3. *** Otherwise just 2.Nf3 makes him work a lot harder to get in ...e5. Unless he goes with 3...f6 but doing that costs him time later since that formation is not really compatible with his presumed ...e4 push of the future. I think it comes down to WT not being able to force BL into proper Colle lines if he is determined to avoid them. Due to the nature of WT's 2.e3 just not being a very forceful move. But its not a bad move either, and there are plenty of good positions to be found if you are willing to bend a bit when someone refuses to book it. For EG they might try 2...c5 to meet 3.Bd3 or 3.c3 with c4?! Which is nice for WT, but just takes you away from where you intended to go. }8-) |
