I love to play the Colle Koltanowski... IMO if you play it aggressively... then the opening morphs into a swashbuckling classical king's pawn opening! The Colle Koltanowski took a hit in the 1990s with the advent of 10..h6 in the Nc6 main lines, hence loosing a lot of popularity. in the 2010's People started playing the opening as a true Semi-Slav with an extra move i.e. 8. dxc5 Bxp 9. b4! this has given the Colle Koltanowski a new lease on life.
Here is a short Blitz nothing special... but it does end in a nice checkmate.
