Black opening - Colle

Avatar of Riverdale76

Is there a black opening that is similar to the colle system?  If so what is the name of the opening.  I like using the colle system when I play white, just wondering if I can use it when I play black?

 

Thanks in advance

The Colle System is really just a reversed Semi-Slav for White.  So yes, here's an easy way to play it as Black: play the Semi-Slav! :)

5. c5? You can't be serious. This wastes time and takes all the pressure off d5 (making black's e5 very easy). c5 is still a poor move even if White is gaining a tempo hitting a bishop on d6... So 5. c5 is worse than poor.

The Colle system is an unambitious way to exploit White's first move advantage; pretty much any set-up can be guaranteed equality for Black.
