â™› Find the opening variations of the Colle–Zukertort System shown in the video in this blog-post –
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you one of the most underrated chess openings for White: the Colle–Zukertort System. It is a universal chess opening system that can be played against any move by Black.
Similar to the London System, but more aggressive and less well-known, this opening system typically follows this move order: 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 e6 3.e3 Nf6 4.Bd3 c5 5.b3 Nc6 6.0-0 Bd6 7.Bb2 0-0 8.Nbd2.
It’s important to note that you develop your queenside knight to d2 instead of the usual square c3, as you want to keep the diagonal open for your dark-squared bishop on b2, which will be a key piece for your future kingside attack.
Watch the full video lesson to learn the common opening setup, key ideas, and middlegame attacking plans for White.

Please wish me good luck for my tournament…. Gonna play this oppening and defeat my opponents. 😊
I would recommend playing this opening till ur 2000fide, well u can stop at anytime but I recommend playing e4 2000+ level 😅
Yes, its close to shuger-cake, but an e is missing at the end, apart from this, "Torte" is a special CREAME-cake, the generell word for cake in german would be "Kuchen".
The Colle-Zukertort is my favorite Queen pawn game. The Bishop on b2 affects the center (unlike in the Colle) and the back rank is vacated so the Rooks are connected. I knew you played a3 at some point to keep the N from attacking the B, but the explanation of a heavy piece occupying the c-file and the subsequent pressure on the c2 pawn was very helpful
I tried it it doesn't work on computer (master level)
1 lakh opponents now know this😅
What is f5 is played. Double B sac does not work so well then
Can you make a video of how to play colle against the KID? Great video!
Normally when I try a trap it takes numerous games before it plays out the way it's shown in the tutorial. I tried this out and the very first time, black went move for move with this video. Such a satisfying checkmate!
This is one of the very few good openings ive learned from this channel. Most of the traps never work but this opening seems maybe better than the stonewall attack?

CLEAN 500K SUBSRIBER !!!! GZ
For evey like this comment gets i will drink 1 cup of water
they play Bishop g4 often instead of e6
This looks beautiful
I just started to play this again due to your old video, happy to see a new one about this ! Thanks again for your videos !
To be one of those people: Do you have a reccomendation against the 3.Bf5 "elephant in the room" ? it's quite popular aswell.
Colle System: Rubinstein Opening
Nice!
i tried
20 moves win
thank you
Excellente! it looks good. I have not seen that before, and I will try it in several games. For me that is the best from Smirnov.
I play this opening in bullet games. It's a pretty good opening and my favorite.
What if he castle the other side? 😂
but what if black castles long
Ah. The stone wall. My fav is either white or black
I agree with this.
This is so satisfying to play.😎♟
10:15 i rewatched this joke 5 times, you're such a good teacher man, very funny, effective, and entertaining… i love your videos so much even though i really hate chess rn
Can you actually get a title when you only play online? Or is it mandatory to play official tournaments over the board?
ZUKEM
Does this work against King's Indian / Modern type setups?
Nice! Thanks 😊
Hello igor I start playing chess from 13 Jan 2024 now I am at 1100 and your video helps me a lot. now I am struggling with the black please suggest the best opening for black.
"lifes good"…😃
Colle-Zuckertort! sweet😀
Great lesson as always!!
Maybe consider making some chessable courses Igor. Including this opening.
By the way as an idea I suggest looking at the opening that Mark Hunt uses. The famous MMA and kickboxing star is very good at chess with peak ELO of 2065 in bullet which is almost all he plays. One can see why he could be so effective in combat sports with that level of fast intellect and incredible power along with an ungodly chin.
Anyway the opening is a double fianchetto. Check out some of his games.
MMA is probably more up gotham's Avenue but it's impossible to contact him so if you can tap into the MMA fanbase to grow your own subscriber count why not.
I started off with the Colle-Zuckertorte. It's a great choice for beginners.
Thank you GM Igor! I have been playing the London System lately and this is a really great variation to add to my toolbox!
please Make video alien gambit
Igor please make a video on the Catalan
7:56
What shall we do if Black Moves NB4 instead of Nd7?
Putting pressure C2 pawn
My favorite opening for a white just happens to be the Colle Zukertort.
Utterly destroying oppenants in rapid. Wow I like it! Very easy to learn. Thank you so much Igor Grand Master
Can you make a detailed video for petrov defense
My new favourite opening, bye bye London.👋👋👋
After Knxd7, d4xc5 black can take the pawn by his bishop to open his queen on the 7th rank and support his king
Sir can u make a video on middle game plans
