Why should I play the Colle-Zukertort?

It has everything you could ever want from an opening:

-you have real attacking chances

-you don't have to sacrifice material to gain initiative

- has a fair amount of poison in it

-follows sound opening principles

-requires no long-term concessions

-gives black little early counterplay
