Bronstein plays the Colle

The Colle is far from a "system" opening, although that is often its reputation. Taken from an opening study example, here is a fabulous game from GM David Bronstein, worthy of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. In addition to the rare king march at the end, what struck me most was the harmony of the White pieces as they dominated Black's rooks.
