Recently I've been looking at the Colle-Zukertort games. The basic setup of it is d4 Nf3 e3 Bd3 b3 0-0 Bb2 Nbd2. "The idea is to make the dark-squared bishop a more dangerous piece than in the sister variation (the Colle) where White plays c3. The beauty of the Colle-Zukertort is that the theory is easy to remember. White can set up the same attacking formation against whatever defensive regime Black chooses (Summerscale 52)." Below is one of my first games playing this system.
1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.e3 e6 4.Bd3 c5 5.b3 Be7 6.Bb2 Nc6 7.Nbd2 O-O 8.O-O b6 9.c4 Ba6 10.Rc1 Nb4 11.Bb1 Rc8 12.a3 Nc6 13.Re1 Qd7 14.Qc2 Rfd8 15.dxc5 Bxc5 16.Bxf6 gxf6 17.Qxh7+ Kf8 18.cxd5 Qxd5 19.Be4 Qd6 20.b4 Nxb4 21.axb4 Bxb4 22.Rxc8 Bxd2 23.Qh8+ Ke7 24.Qxd8+ Qxd8 25.Rxd8 Kxd8 26.Nxd2 1-0
An excellent game to start with for those wanting to play the Colle-Zukertort is
