Beating the Colle with Reverse Catalan

Hi- I'm exploring a Reverse Catalan to beat the Colle System with. Do any of you guys have any suggestions for improvements on these moves? If so please let me know. Thanks and here is my analysis on How to beat the Colle System and Zukertort with a Reverse Catalan



Please vote for which move you think is best for black on move 8: Qc7, b6, or Re8

b6
qc7
re8
b6 is moving the development froward, qc7 threatens e5 and re8 doesnt have an important sense i think

@Reti-Gambit Can you please give an example variation? The idea with Re8 is to play e5 also, but the point of this position is that white is fast enough to play e4 himself and as black we need to find a good way to meet it.

i know but if white plays e4 re is not so seseful
and here on e4 with b6 we can take and play bb7
or play bb7

You can't beat the Colle with that rubbish... The Colle is a most superior opening and shall not be beat by any ole common run-of-the-mill defensive schemes... The Colle's reputation as being the greatest openig ever devised was hard won and is not going away anytime soon!!!

what the hell...

@Art3mistic Are you sure about that? No offense but The London System is easily better than the Colle and you can even find stuff slightly better than the London

I'm not saying the Colle is a terrible opening and I want to find a refutation- I just want an antidote (but if there is a refutation then of course I'll use it)

@Reti-Gambit Yes 8...b6 seems like a good development approach
- I think all 3 moves have some merits. Do you think there are any improvements black can make on any previous moves?

Funny animatorjimtv: You are right!!!!! I had forgotten all about the London system... yeah, the Londo system is the best in the world!!!!!
thanks.

Ah, but of course, both systems are systems are completely refuted by Englund's Gambit. The Achilles's Heel of any d4 system player.

In all seriousness though, I'm really liking this Reverse Catalan set up. I don't have anything helpful to contribute though.
