  Benzol: <AdrianP> This one game you might wish to look at.
Mar-03-05  FLCLlove: Chigorin had quite a bit of trouble with this opening. I'll get the stats but I believe he only drew once against this losing the rest.
Mar-03-05  FLCLlove: Sorry, he was 1.5/6 which accordng to <Chessgames.com> is only 25%.
Oct-18-07  RookFile: This Colle/Zukertort system is a good choice, even today, when black commits himself early with something like ...d5, ...e6.... Nf6 right out of the gate.
