Edgar Colle

Am I the only one who remembers him?

YES

He does have a major opening named after him. If you mean biographical details, I think the average player here barely knows much about Fischer.

Fezzik--

The Colle-Koltaowski white Queen pawn opening is well known by most Chess scholars.

It's kinda like asking the kids today who was in the Beatles.

Collle was a very physically sick man that was throwing up blood while playing. But his genious was his opening.

 What's wrong with the stuff on Yusupov?  All it says is he's played the Colle in recent times, which seems accurate enough.

Is there a Wentz system?

If the Colle-Zukertort is really a "system opening" then it doesn't matter against which Black moves it is used or the move order does it ? Or perhaps it's not a system opening after all ?

So, if he played a specific variation of Colle-Zukertort, I don't see how this falsifies the claim that he played Colle-Zukertort. It's like saying "No, he didnt play the Sicilian, he only played the Najdorf."

I didn't say that Colle and Yusupov played the same opening, but that Yusupov played a variation of the opening known (rightly or wrongly) as Colle-Zukertort. 

I hereby sentence you to play a thematic tourney in the Colle-Zukertort.

he was Belgium a very flat country, with straight roads little scenery in Europe it  is generally recognised as the world capital of boredom, much like the Colle opening.

There are transpositions recognized in every opening.  Yusupov transposes to the Colle as an anti-Nimzo weapon, usually by 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 3.e3.

He plays the CZ against move orders that continue with an early c5, the Koltanowski against move orders with an early Nc6, and transposes with c4 against QID-like lines.

He's written on it, and doesn't seem to mind or dispute the Colle label himself.

Interesting, in these games Edgar Colle is said to be playing "Yusupov-Rubinstein system."

 An opening theoretician, AND a time traveler.  Colle was very versatile.

At little bit about Edgar Colle:

Edgar Colle was born in Gent, Belgium on May 18, 1897. He eventually won the chess championship of Gent in 1922, 1924, 1926, 1927, 1928 and 1929. His first major tournament result was to share 3rd place with Geza Maróczy and Richard Réti, behind Paul Johnner and Rudolf Speilmann who shared 1st/2nd place, but ahead  of such names as Euwe, Mieses, Yates and Znosko-Borovsky at Scheveningen in 1923. His tournament results were very inconsistent, but he managed to win or place in some strong tournaments ahead of some great players. He placed individual third in the first (unofficial) chess olympiad in Paris behind Hermanis Mattisons and Fricis Apšenieks. Max Euwe placed fourth.
Colle won Amsterdam 1926 ahead of Tartakower and Euwe and Merano ahead of the likes of Spielmann, Canal, Kostic, Przepiórka,  Tartakower, Yates, Grünfeld and Grob. The second at Weston, behind Euwe. In 1927 Colle won at Scarborough ahead of Yates and Bogolyubov. Then in 1928, shared frst place at Hastings with Marshall and  Sándor Takács ahead of George Thomas, George Koltanowski and Frederick Yates. Colle placed third out of 16 in Barcelona, 1929 just behind Capablanca and Tartakower.  In 1930 he won again at Scarborough ahead of Geza Maróczy, Akiba Rubinstein, Carl Ahues, F. Yates, Sultan Khan, Geo. Thomas, Vera Menchik and Ernst Grünfeld. He place 2nd at Rotterdam in 1931 behind Salo Landau but ahead of Tartakower and Rubinstein. 
His match history, or what I know of it, is pretty short:
in 1924 drew his first match with Euwe 2-2
in 1925, drew his match with Koltanowski  4-4
in 1928, lost  his second match with Euwe 0-5,
in 1928, drew the third match with Euwe 1-1
After Colle's death on April 18 1932, at age 35, with his fourth operation for ulcers, Max Euwe authored a short book in his memory, Colle Gedenkboek.

The pic of Colle above echoes what Golombek wrote in his Encyclopedia:

"Belgian master and a player of enormous combinational ability. Colle lived most of his short life in ill-health. His photographs show a face pinched with pain but a look in the eyes of pathetic hope."
