Edgar Colle
Edgar Colle, the foremost Belgian chess master, who died at Ghent last week at the early age of thirty-five, was known to chess players all over the world for the method he employed in playing the queen's pawn opening. This became recognized as the Colle system. He played in many English tournaments, and won the international tournament of the British Chess Federation at Scarborough in 1927. In the previous year he won a big international tournament at Merano.
