Enter the System. The Colle System.

In the 1920's, 1.d4 Nf6 was considered an irregular opening. Then Tartakower read an old German journal in which there was a game played in 1875 by two Brahmans which began 1.d4 Nf6. Thereafter he jokingly referred to this as the Indian Defense. This is a group for players who are interested in exploring the White and Black sides of the hypermodern "Indian" defenses to 1.d4. Collectively, our group repetoire includes 9 distinct openings: Benko Gambit, Benoni Defense, Bogo-Indian Defense, Budapest Gambit, Grünfeld Defense, Indian Game, King's Indian Defense, Nimzo-Indian Defense, and Queen's Indian Defense. All our Team Matches, in-house Tournaments, and Vote Chess games are based around these openings. We currently have a 300 membership maximum.
