Review
As with Lakdawala's other books, this is a very enjoyable read. It is easy to follow, leaves you with a smile on your face, and a keen sense that you know exactly what is going on with Lakdawala there to guide you. Once you have worked your way through the book, you are left with the confidence to play the opening and the suggested lines. Even though I possibly should know better, I am beginning to feel like a sucker for enjoying Lakdawala's books so much. If I were a young player looking to improve my game and understand an opening, I would most likely be picking up his books at the same pace people buy overpriced candy and popcorn at the movie theater, though these books last a lot longer and you do not end up feeling guilty afterward.

From the Back Cover
This series provides an ideal platform to study chess openings. By continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move by Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to study any chess opening and at the same time improve your general chess skills and knowledge. In this book, International Master Cyrus Lakdawala studies the Colle, one of his favourite opening systems. The Colle is a reliable option for White, and is easy to learn and play. White typically builds on solid foundations before unleashing an attack on the enemy king. This straightforward plan makes it particularly popular at club level, but the Colle is played successfully by Grandmasters too. Lakdawala covers both the main lines and the more aggressive Colle-Zukertort Attack, examines the key positional and tactical ideas for both sides, and tells you everything you need to know about playing the Colle. *Essential guidance and training in the Colle System*Presents a Colle repertoire for White*Utilizes an ideal approach to chess study

Good but confusing at times
By Amazon Customer
My chess rating runs around 2100. I used to play the Colle and was interested in the new improvements since then.
Lakdawala has written a VERY entertaining book on an opening he plays regularly.
I really like the way he presents the opening. However, most of these are white-to-play-this-and-win plus a positive thinking pep talk (salted with interesting and often funny [to me] metaphors). In other words, Lakdawala does not present a critical analysis of the opening, instead it's a defense. However, there are glimmers of how Black could change the course of the game with different moves, move orders, and ideas. Not all the games are at the GM level and a computer is mentioned often (despite the introduction ranting against computer analysis and needing a computer proof opening that computers and theory will not dismantle).
Typically when I lean a new opening it's helpful to follow the main lines so the confusing thing is the format (which can interfere with they way I process chess information). Typically the format, inserting questions (mostly useful) adds to the sense of understanding. The problem is that there are times when the diagrams and the questions are off the main line. The feeling is one of having to go back to decipher what he's talking about.
I do like the fact that most "average" player should be able to follow the lines due to the abundance of diagrams.
Please note, despite the 416 pages, there is less on the Colle than I had hoped for... a good percentage of the book is Lakdawala entertaining us with his sense of humor. (e.g. his dog eating grass and ceremonially vomiting it up) This book is not encyclopedic which is good for the new learner and not so good for those who may already have a good sense of the opening and want more depth.
Another thing that should be understood, this is an introduction to the whole Colle complex. It covers the traditional idea of playing for e4, or the new so-called Phoenix idea of playing a reversed Slav with b4, or the "brutal" (Ladawala) Zukertort system. In other words, after reading this book you will need to head for one of the books that specialize in one of these lines.
While the Colle is essential a "one-trick" pony (if it doesn't work then white is in trouble), it is a very good and reliable trick that new players have used effectively to stay out of early trouble against superior players. (The London, played well is considered "unbeatable" while the Colle is open to debate.)
The reason this book scores so high (for me) is because it also happens to be a tactical manual. Ladawala refers to the various attacking motifs and how to look for and combine them. Some of them are advanced ideas and the newer player may have to search the meaning of some of the ideas mentioned. Still it's a good attacking manual.
So if you are fairly versed in chess, looking for a solid opening with explosive attacking potential over the board, and are willing to learn a sense of timing of when something big should happen... give this book a read.

You will want to play the Colle when you are done with this book!
By Club player
Well written. Fun, which is not typical of chess books. Author shows how the basic pawn structures can arise out of a variety of move orders. I don't use the Colle as a primary opening anymore, but it can really throw an opponent in certain move orders. I'm looking forward to using it a little more now!

Good Opening Book for Players who Want to Avoid Sharp Dangerous Openings
By Steve Allen Lenores
I started buying Cyrus' books because he used to be my chess coach about 25 years ago. I like his Colle book because most of the players in New Mexico are not used to this system which means they are likely to misplay the opening. As an older player, I'm over sixty now, I needed a opening repertoire that was more positional and less tactical. It's like a golfer that has to adjust his swing as he gets older so that he can still compete against the younger players. All of his opening books fit the bill in that respect. I would recommend his books to anyone who wants or needs to transition from sharp tactical lines to positional chess.
