| Dec-16-09 | | Halfpricemidge: Perhaps Spielmann should have sacrificed the exchange 21.Rxe5, excellent game. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Colle plays a curious gambit at move 17 with ...b7-b5. After White accepts, probably best, Black can play ...Bd6 and not worry about either c4-c5 or Na4-c3-b5. But while Black secures the d6 square for his Bishop, he doesn't do it with a vacating sacrifice of the sort that Spielmann describes in The Art of Sacrifice in Chess. So Colle's sacrifice isn't the same as in Spielmann vs Janowski, 1907, to give an example from the book. Does this mean that Colle pulled off a sacrifice that Spielmann didn't know about? |

| Sep-13-16 | | AlicesKnight: Not often Spielmann is outplayed in a tactical mix-up, and by the strategist Colle.... |

| Sep-13-16 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: If there were a version of the Colle System for Black, this is what it might look like. |
|
| Sep-13-16 | | kevin86: Black's pieces come to the attack for a quick win. |
|
| Sep-13-16 | | Conrad93: The pun should say "The Colle of the Wild." |
|
| Sep-13-16 | | JohnBoy: <piltdown> - Thunderbolt = lightening. Usually visible. |
|
| Sep-13-16 | | RandomVisitor: By 23...Qh4 black arguably has a winning position. Better for white was 22.Nc5 with a white advantage. |
|
| Sep-14-16 | | piltdown man: <JohnBoy> No, thunder and lightning are two different things. Thunder is the sound, and lightning (as the name implies), the light. You can't see thunder. |

You can't see thunder.> Literally, a thunderbolt means "a flash of lightning, especially when close enough for a simultaneous clap of thunder to be heard". Metaphorically, it's something that strikes suddenly and violently. So you can see literal thunderbolts, and you can see metaphorical ones too (since they point to something concrete; like a surprising and powerful chess move). |

| Sep-17-16 | | JohnBoy: <piltdown> - you must have been thinking of thunderclap. A lack of familiarity with english can be forgiven, but not an inability to google. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=thunderbolt+de... |
|
| Sep-23-16 | | piltdown man: <JohnBoy> If this is the case, sir, then please tell me why the great Freddie Mercury - whose familiarity with English, I'm sure you will agree, far exceeded our pitiful grasp - sang of "Thunderbolts and lightning", if they are one and the same? You are surely not accusing the immortal Freddie of the sin of tautology, I hope? You should hang your head in shame, sir. |

| Oct-30-17 | | benderules: After 18.cxb5 white is two pawns up and
aparently there is no compensation. A few moves later and without any obvious error black is winning. The game won the brilliancy price of the tournament. |
|
| Apr-23-20 | | Marcelo Bruno: The Brazilian ex-champion included it as the fourth illustrative game for beginners in his "Iniciação ao xadrez" (Initiation to chess), but I feel its concepts are (very) hard for beginners. Other openings he includes: Queen's Gambit Declined (first game), Philidor's Defense (second game), French Defense - C13 (third game) and Queen's Gambit Declined - D59 (fifth game), these not easy at all for beginners. |

 | | kerpa: Discussed by John Watson on p.33 in the section on queenside minority success, in Secrets of Modern Chess Strategy. Much better, and disagreements with the computer?s annotations. For example, Watson gives 17?b5 an exclam and clearly explains why. |
|
| Sep-13-21 | | DouglasGomes: 17... b6 18. Qd2 Bd6 blockades White's majority and Black is clearly better (SF -1.39 d40) 17... b5? gives up a pawn and later White had chances to even the game, just good for style points |
