World Champion plays a system opening | Kramnik - Ivanisevic | World blitz

Vladimir Kramnik is very well known for re-vicing Colle system at the top level. The problem Black faces is that you have to start playing a mind game against your opponent, because at some point you can have almost every set up you can think of. Grandmaster Ivanisevic gave it a significant thought before making his set-up decision.

The Colle System, also known as the Colle–Koltanowski system, is a chess opening strategy for White introduced by the Belgian master Edgard Colle in the 1920s. It was then further developed by George Koltanowski.

This variation of the Queen's Pawn Game is characterised by a systematic if modest development of White's minor pieces to support a quick pawn move to the e4 square. It is solid, but inflexible.

Colle and Koltanowski each won many tournaments in the 1920s and 1930s. Colle finished ahead of Tartakower, Euwe and Rubinstein at various times. The opening had even been referred to as the “dreaded” Colle System. George Koltanowski, in his book, “The Colle System” said it offered “solid development”, combinations, a decent endgame, and it gives White “good chances of not losing against a stronger player”. However, players like Capablanca and Tal found ways to take the sting out of some of its various lines. One such line that has been tested is 3...Bf5, sometimes called the “Anti-Colle.”

Vladimir Kramnik, (rus. Владимир Борисович Крамник) (born June 25, 1975, Tuapse, Russia, U.S.S.R.), Russian international chess grandmaster who defeated his countryman Garry Kasparov to win the Professional Chess Association world championship. The match was held in London from October 8 to November 2, 2000, with Kramnik winning 2 games, drawing 13, and losing none.

The great players whose games most influenced Kramnik were the former world champions José Capablanca, Alexander Alekhine, Bobby Fischer, Anatoly Karpov, and Garry Kasparov. Kasparov lectured at the school on occasion, and Kramnik was struck by the fact that Karpov and Kasparov played chess completely differently yet were both champions. He came to the conclusion that it was necessary to study a broad range of chess positions in order to become a well-rounded player.

Blitz chess (also known as speed or fast chess) is a type of chess in which each player is given less time to consider their moves than normal tournament time controls allow. Openings, tactics and strategy are same.
