The best anti Colle line is to simply play chess.

By the way, I'm somewhat puzzled at your advocacy for Colle. Surely as a Teague, your favourite Belgian chess player should be Albéric O'Kelly de Galway?

That's right. In my local Bookland bookstore (a division of Books A Million) there is not a single chess book in their games and puzzles section which contains 4 shelves. There are picture puzzle books and sudoku and crossword puzzle books but no chess. There was a "zombie sudoku" book so maybe someone needs to publish a "zombie chess" book. Zombies are very popular lately so that might work.
