Need opening help as black against the London, Colle and Torre systems with 1...d5

Hi all.

I’m rated 1680 in 15+10 rapid, and I need a bit of opening help against 1.d4. I play 1...d5 against d4 (and do this because I have a specific setup against the queens gambit), but am struggling when facing d4 deviations such as the London / Colle / Torre systems.

What opening(s) can I look into when playing against the London / Colle / Torre systems while starting with 1...d5?

I’ve been playing the stonewall mostly, but have had terrible results with it - I’m looking for alternatives that would be appropriate for my level.

Could anyone please recommend me some opening ideas / books / resources for playing against these systems, when starting with 1...d5? I don’t really think it’s helpful for me to memorize lines at this point in my chess development (as my opponents deviate quite quickly )- but just to get some ideas on what to play against these openings, and the reasoning behind the moves would be very helpful.

Would really appreciate if someone could provide book recommendations with annotated games.

Thanks!

Fighting the London System by Kiril Georgiev. I haven't read it, but it does recommend lines starting with ...d5.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKvBcjBzGO4 is an interesting try.

www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1804184 is a funny, crushing game by Nakamura, but not a serious game.

In another video, which I can't remember the channel, they suggested the avoid developing the QN so you can play Ba6 and challenge white's powerful LSB.

One recommendation is to NOT play the Stonewall when white has the bishop outside his pawn triangle, it's just asking for weak dark squares.
You might find some inspiration in the following. It says "Queen's Gambit Accepted" but it is actually lines against the 1.d4 deviations as part of his QGA course. This is a free preview, and it looks pretty strong.

The London, Colle, Torre are attempts by white te evade the theory. Objectively speaking the Queen's Gambit and the Catalan are far more dangerous for black. The London and the Torre put the white bishop Bf4 or Bg5 outside the pawn chain f2-e3-d4. This weakens the dark squares like square b2, when black can profit with some ...c5 or ...c6 and ...Qb6 or ...Qa5.
The pure Colle as by Edgar Colle involves e3, Nf3, c3, Bd3, O-O, Nbd2, striving for e4. The down side is that Bc1 is enclosed within his own pawn chain f2-e3-d4-c3-b2.
The line played by Georges Koltanovsky involves b3 and Bb2.
All these systems are a bit tame. just develop pieces and play for the center.
Against Colle it's fine to play a queens indian setup, e6, d5, c5, b6, Bb7, Nbd7. If they go for the typical e4 break to solve the problem of their queens bishop, they also bring your bishop into play.
Or play for a quick e5 to develop your queens bishop to f5/g4. (This is common plan in the Meran with opposite colors) lichess.org/XoRV7Jaq/black#0

Generally in those systems you need to stay calm as black and make slow progress. It's super solid for white.
And don't give up the tension in the center without reason. You need to crack up the center if they start a king side attack.
I have read the Georgiev book. It's pretty good and easy to read, lots of lines that show you have to go, and a range of options. He focuses on understanding the ideas as well as the actual lines. I think it would be a fine place to start.
