Playing Colle with black
Sort:
OK, today I claim the copyright for that opening.
Name: The Bean Opening.
Besides, nobody can answer to my question seriously?
Your variation has the colours reverse AND inverted. That is, you have a weird Philidor setup with your pieces woefully misplaced. How are you going to castle? Why are you preparing d5 when you can play it in one move in most instances? If you try to play such a system, you will face many unnecessary problems (at least, you will if White does something beyond h3, g3 etc)
I would not recommend beginner-level players to play opening systems at the best of time, and that is especially true as Black. You need to react to what White does, not just blindly go for a predetermined setup. Just follow opening principles: develop each piece, put them on active squares, castle early and you are ahead of the game.
The position you are showing for black is not equivalent to the Colle: the Colle is an white opening based on 1.d4, so the black version would have to be based on ...d5. Here is an example of what that would look like:
This position would either be a Queen's Gambit Declined or a Semi-Slav, depending on whether ...c6 is played (if ...c6 is played, it will be Semi-Slav). The position you showed in your first post would be a Philldor defense if white played 1.e4. Against 1.d4, this would not happen - the pressure on e4 and the threat of pushing d4-d5 would both make the position very good for white.

If you play this, it's the Semi-Slav, which is very forcing. Black may well play dxc and b5 soon, but it just depends on the line. Not at all like the Colle.
If you play this against anything, while white didn't even play c4, it's just stupid and you wasted a move. The point of the pawn moves is defending d5 extra and you don't need that if white didn't attack with c4.
Hi!
If you are playing Colle with black, whats the name of the opening?
And possible or stupid to play?
