Lifetime Repertoires: Colle System
MoveTrainer® Opening course by GM Lars Schandorff
This Reverse 1.d4 Repertoire Beats
Black with Their Own Ideas —
One Tempo Faster
You take Black’s best defenses. Add White’s first move advantage. Then watch your “solid” setup snowball into a 4-vs-2 lead in development, a fierce attack... or even an easy extra pawn. The best part? Your first four moves stay the same. So you’ll feel right at home, no matter what opponents throw at you.
Here’s how you start:
You plant a strong pawn center with 1.d4 and 2.Nf3. Then you bring out your kingside pieces with 3.e3, 4.Bd3, or 4.Be2.
Colle System, starting moves
The Colle System — whose starting moves are
identical to the rock-solid Queen’s Gambit
Declined with colors reversed
In Lifetime Repertoires: Colle System, every move has a purpose. Every move follows the opening principles you know by heart. So when the board lights up, rest assured you’re striking from a position of strength.
Colle System, 4v2 advantage
Black won’t find it easy to survive your
4-vs-2 development advantage
And who better to show you this system than Grandmaster Lars Schandorff.
He won the 1988 Danish Chess Championship, then twice conquered the Copenhagen Open. He also took home 11 national team titles in Denmark, Germany, and Sweden.
But what truly sets him apart?
Schandorff earned those victories playing as Black the exact setup you’re about to learn. Now you will play it as White…
Faster and Sharper!
The beauty of the Colle System is its flexibility.
It resembles a Reverse Queen’s Gambit Declined. It stands strong against nearly anything like its Black counterpart. As White, its extra tempo also allows it to transform into another reversed opening… exactly the one your opponent least wants to face!
Did Black go for the classical setup with …d5 and …c5? Then you fortify your center with the Reversed Semi-Slav…
Colle System, Reverse Semi-Slav
With your strong point protected 3 times,
Black isn’t making a dent on your center
Before grabbing a queenside pawn without consequences.

If Black were hanging onto the c-pawn,
they’d be in trouble. But you’re White
so the extra pawn comes with
no consequences!
Or you use the queenside ruckus to open lines of attack against the enemy king!
Colle System, queenside break into kingside attack
When you carry out Black’s queenside
breakthrough as White — you also
start a kingside attack
Did Black take your d-pawn to ease the tension? Then you switch to the Reverse Carlsbad structure.
Colle System, Reverse Carlsbad
The Reverse Carlsbad’s “little” space advantage
carries huge attacking chances
You add a gambit twist to your solid setup. And in just 15 moves, you're already launching a winning attack… even after the queens come off.

The upcoming Ba4 and Rc1 are crushing!
Is Black copying everything you do?
Let them, because you’re breaking through first! You’ll not only create threats in the middlegame. You’ll also keep a safe advantage for the endgame.
Colle System vs Copycat
Against copycats, you enjoy more active pieces
in the middlegame, while a queenside majority
secures your endgame
Even Black’s wilder tries receive the “tempo-up, reverse” treatment.
The club-favorite King’s Indian Defense?
You’ll meet it head-on with the Reverse Queen’s Indian. You’ll place your bishop right across Black’s on g7. And just like that — their bishop isn’t special anymore, because you can trade it away anytime!
The tricky Benoni? You’ll oppose it with the same “mirror the g7-bishop” strategy.
And against those London System enjoyers, who insist playing the same setup as Black?
You’ll use their bishop as a speed boost for your development. Then you’ll ramp up the aggression before they can bring out their pieces!
We’re confident that Lifetime Repertoires: Colle System will give you clear plans, robust positions… plus the decisive “one tempo” advantage of reverse openings.
