Subject: A line to play against the Colle
|
I am trying to devise a way to play against the Colle as Black. I have
read that playing the c8 bishop to f5 was one of the keys to equalize
against the Colle. On the other hand, it does weaken b6. In the
following line, where Black plays an early Bf5, White plays c4. In your
opinion, what is the best way to meet this line as Black?
1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 Bf5 4.c4
I have seen 4...c6. Is it a transposition to a known line of the Slave,
and if yes, is it favourable to White?
Thanks for any input.

Check out Pete Tamburro's column at http://www.njscf.org/ Good stuff.

Kaufman's repertoire book (The Chess Advantage in Black and White)
recommends a reverse-queen's gambit with 3...c5. Looks interesting to me.

Yes, 4...c6 can become a transposition from the Colle to the Slav "ECO
D12". Schlechter tried it against the great Capablanca and it's worth
a draw.
