a tempo on a major line of the Steinitz Deferred.  However, his extra tempo is
castling, but in that line he usually castles long, so as to attack Black's

very annoying.  White's space and development more than offset the bishop pair.

1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. e3 c5 {Queen's Pawn Game 6 (Colle)  Moves like 3...Bf5,
3...Bg4 and 3...g6 are all good, but allow White to transpose the game to the
Slav or Gruenfeld by 4...c4, openings which are outside our repertoire.  With
the text move Black is playing the Queen's Gambit with colors reversed.  The
Queen's Gambit is one of the two best ways to open for White, so even a tempo
down it should give Black at least equality.} 4. c3 {The "real" Colle system. 
This is actually the Semi-Slav reversed!  White now threatens to take and hold
the pawn. In a normal Semi-Slav our knight would already be developed to c6. 
Here we protect the pawn by 4...Qc7, taking advantage of the fact that the
knight is not yet developed.  This is an option not available to White in the
Semi-Slav!} (4. b3 cxd4 {

The exchange of White's "good" bishop ensures Black a pleasant game.}) (4. Nbd2

blocked his queen's bishop makes this a good choice for Black.  Black will
continue with ...Bf5 or ...Bg4, ...e6, ...Bd6, ...0-0, ...Qc7, and aim at the
minority attack b7-b5-b4.}) (4. dxc5 {Kaufman's main line.  QGA reversed.
