NEVER Lose in the Opening Again || Colle-Zukertort System (Part 1)

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]

CLUB VOLCANES was the name of my Mexican high school team that participated in the big state championships of ‘92. I finished equal = 4 blk losses, 4 wht wins. In all my white games I played ColleZuk it ended up becoming my beloved weapon for many years. Of course it’s all memory now… fell in lov, got married, chess took a back seat. Memory… but oh what a memory ❤

This has serious value.

[@local-admin]

I do kf3 first. I think it’s more dynamic.

[@nestoracosta1551]

You mentioned "in the last video" @1.23 but this is part one. What video are you referring to?

[@JapaneseTutor]

I cut out the “first part” because it was rare lines and wanted to go into real stuff. Also the audio was messed up so I couldn’t upload it. Maybe we should do it over :)

[@nestoracosta1551]

@@JapaneseTutor that would be great, I would def watch it

[@WARDA475]

Thank you

[@davidbatchelder85]

Bf5 is a problem for the colle, have to transpose to the Q opening. Correct.

[@theroaman8759]

Stupid question, but if he hadn’t resigned in first game what would have been the mate move?

[@chinmayaprakash]

Reference timestamp 16:19. At this point, it is not quite a mate yet but black stands to lose a lot of material. The problem is that black king is trapped by its own pieces. Rg8 would result in checkmate with Rxh7#. If instead, it tries to run away along the last rank, there is not enough time. For example, Kg8 Rxh7 Rd8 g6 Kf8 Rh8 Kg7 Qh6#. No matter what black plays after Rh6, Rxh7 is coming which will pin f7 pawn to the black queen paralysing its defence. Moving that pawn can result in a quick checkmate with f6 exf6 Qf7 Bxh7 Qxh7 g6 Qxh6 Qxh6+ Kg8 Qh7#. There are ways to continue after Rh6 but not without sacrificing multiple pieces. If black plays passively, white queen and rook will join forces along the h file to checkmate the black king. Black has limited counter-play. The position is completely losing. And your question was not stupid by any stretch.

[@ianjohnson171]

In the first game, couldn’t the king have just moved to G8… that wouldn’t be checkmate.

[@ems3832]

After Rxh7 followed by g6, it's lights out for Black.

[@MrAdrianhayman]

Good game

[@JapaneseTutor]

[@kevingallagher3742]

Nice to see all of Susan Polgar's analysis regurgitated in this series but original content would have been better.

[@JapaneseTutor]

I’ve never read a Susan Polgar book in my life lol
