Hi friends. So, my short question is AS I LOVE THE COLLE-ZUKERTORT AS WHITE WHAT MIGHT I LOVE AS BLACK?..... Longer version, with some context, is as follows: So, I've only been playing chess for 6 months, but I love it. I listened to Vinesh Ravuri on the Perpetual Chess Pod about a month ago and he said that until he was around 2100 he only played C-Z as white (with a slightly different set up against a hypermodern defence). This then gave him loads of time for studying other aspects of his game. Since then I have only played C-Z as white and I love it, and my results have been excellent. As plack I'm playing a Modern defence type set-up that I learnt from a Gotham Chess video (d6, g6, Bg7 etc). And it's working very well for me? But, if I love C-Z as white and want to play something thematically similar as black what would you recommend (against e4, against d4, or maybe a system against both). Stick to this simple modern/pirc/KID thing? Or is there something else I can try? I think that for the next year or two keeping things simple with my openings is the way to go. Thanks so much! 😀

Meant "as black" (not 'plack') obvs! ..... I really would be extremely grateful for your suggestions on openings for Black that would fit well with my love for C-Z as white.
The Semi-slav is similar to the CZ as defense against 1.d4.
It won’t give you the attacking chances that you get in the CZ, you are a tempo behind, after all. But similar structure and some similar moves.
