So, Lately i find e4 meeting e6 more often than not, and games usually become these positional things that i am not good at. I need something different. With the caro, i usually aim for the Rasa-Studier gambit, and i've always thought it could be possible to get into that kind of line in the french, but it never happens and i find myself trying to cling to pawns which can't be good. Not to mention f7 is covered up in the French. So, any ideas here? Some nice non-GM gambits that may leave black wondering what just happened? Thanks a ton.
Some gambits you can try against the French are:
The Maroczy-Alekhine 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.Nge2
The Alekhine-Chatard 3...Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.e5 Nfd7 6.h4
The Reti 2.b3 d5 3.Bb2
