Mar-19-04		Dillinger: Colle shows the potential of the Zukertort variation (characterized mainly by 7.b3) with a nifty miniature.

Mar-20-04		Halfpricemidge: This game is annotated at chess.fm /markdiesen

Apr-16-04		Halfpricemidge: If black captured 16...BxPg2 then the Quenn's pawn is advanced (in order to block black's mating net) 17.Pd5, PxP 18. Nf5, Bd8(to avoid capture) 19. QxR+!, NxQ 20. RxN+, Nf8, and 21. Nh6+ with mate on the very next move!!

Mar-18-05		Minji: I thought the Colle-Zukertort was not only b3 but also the fianchetto of the dark-squared bishop.

Mar-18-05		Dudley: Huh?

Mar-19-05		misguidedaggression: <Halfpricemidge> What were you planning to do after 18...Bf8 now the queen has to move and black can save the bishop. Try this line instead: 16...Bxg2 17.d5 exd5 18.Kxg2 dxc4+ 19.Be4 allthough black does get 3 pawns for the piece, white should still have a very strong attack. I think 16..Nf8 or possably 16...Bf8 holds off white's attack entirely, though.

Oct-14-05		Nightwalk: I wasn't familiar with Colle's games, but after playing this I must say the man was one of the best and I intend to further study and appreciate his legacy.

Oct-02-08		aragorn69: <E. Colle: ‘I have not played such a lot of fine games as to make the selection really difficult, but still it is not easy to define accurately what is really one’s best game. One of the reasons - not a very good one, but still a reason – for selecting [Colle v Grünfeld, Berlin, 1926] is that it was awarded the first brilliancy prize.’ > Source: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail...
