Jan-02-04		Halfpricemidge: If Black gives stubborn resistance like 15...Pg6; 16.Qe1, Kg7; 17QxKt on b4 or if black tries to save the knight with 15...pg6; 16.Qe1, Kt-c6 17.Qh4, Pf5; 18.PxP e.p., Rf7; 19. Ktg5, RxP(f6) 20.Qh7+, Kf8; 21.KtxP+, Ke8; 22.RxR, KtxR; 23. BxP++

Jun-28-08		sneaky pete: The game score may be wrong. Both Kagans Neueste Schachnachrichten, April 1930, and Reinfeld's <Colle's Chess Masterpieces>, first published in 1936, give 22.Rf4 .. 1-0. After 22.Rf4 Qxf4 etc is forced (22... Qh7 23.Qf8+ Qg8 24.Rh4#). If 22.Qf8+ Kh7 23.Rf4 .. was actually played, black could still offer some resistance with 23... Bd7 24.Qf7 Be8. Colle was always very precise in finishing off this kind of attacks, so I don't think 22.Qf8+ .. was played. (I won't mention that Colle was ill, he was ill all his life, not one healthy moment).

May-18-09		YoungEd: 4. ...a6 looks like an inconsequent move to me. The Colle system can be a bit slow, but can build up power given a chance. It seems that the only way to fight it is to be active! Black doesn't manage that.

It seems that the only way to fight it is to be active! Black doesn't manage that. <YoungEd>, I agree. Black wasted 2 tempo in the opening, with 4...a6, 6...d6 & 9...e7.
