1. e4 e6 2. d3 d5 3. Nd2 Nf6 4. Ngf3 c5 5. g3 Nc6 6. Bg2 Be7 7. O-O O-O 8. Re1 b5 9. e5! Nd7 10. Nf1 a5!
The Steiner Attack is also pretty open:
1. e4 e6 2. c4 d5 3. PxP PxP 4. PxP ...
with 4...QxP or 4...Nf6
Thank you for your suggestion. Actually KID against 1. D4 is my main weapon, thats why good idea Im gonna give it a shot
its hard to avoid at all levels online, I simply suggest to study it more from the white side e4 e6 d4 d5 e5

Biggest flaw people ever make is saying that they play the KID and think that knowledge can be applied to the Kings Indian Attack. They are not the same at all. How do I know this? I play the French as Black, I play the Kings Indian Defense as Black, and against certain lines, I play the Kings Indian Attack as White, so I know what I am talking about here.
Case in point, since we are talking KIA vs French:
KID: What move does Black play for in almost all lines (ones like the 4 pawns attack are the exception)? ...f5! Example: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 O-O 6.Be2 e5 7.O-O Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 9.Ne1 Nd7 10.Be3 f5 11.f3 f4 12.Bf2 g5. Notice after f5, black storms the kingside with pawns. That is because the center is stable and blocked along 3 central files (d/e/f).
KIA vs French
1.e4 e6 2.d3 d5 3.Nd2 Nf6 4.g3 c5 5.Ngf3 Nc6 6.Bg2 Bg7 7.O-O O-O 8.Re1 b5 9.e5 Nd7 10.Nf1 a5 11.h4 b4 12.N1h2 Ba6 13.Bf4 a4 14.a3 bxa3 15.bxa3 and then it branches off from there depending on what Black does. Notice White does not push f4 and storm the Kingside with pawns. The h-pawn may advance as far as h6 to weaken the dark squares, but the f-pawn stays home and the g-pawn rarely advances. White's attack comes via piece play mainly, not a pawn storm like the KID. Note that there is 1 closed file, not 3. Black could play ...d4 at some point if giving the e4 square to White does not hurt him. This is why White does not advance the f-pawn. Center is too volatile to expose the king, unlike in the KID.
So to say that you think the KID is a good reason to play the KIA is severely flawed. It is like saying you like brussel sprouts because you like chocolate ice cream. You may like both, but one has no correlation with the other, and when I play the KIA, I use ideas from the KIA only and do not use the KID as a basis for successful KIA strategy. Same thing goes the other way around. KIA strategy does not apply to the KID.

This is actually what I play as White over the board (3.Nc3 in correspondence).
If you go to www.charlottechesscenter.org, click on Blog, and go to the archive (best found on a desktop or laptop instead of a mobile device) and go back to about March 2018, you will see the start of a series called "The French Connection", which is a series I write on the French Defense, and no, they are not just a bunch of black wins, and in fact, I think it is volume 11 that is a big win for White in a KIA vs French.
It is currently 22 volumes deep and 23 and 24 will likely come in September. Both will feature the advance variation, 23 a win for white and 24 a win for black.
I actually hate french( im not a racist he he), but everytime the game gets boring and i dont really know what to do.
I am the person who loves to play the kings gambit, sometimes i go nevertheless for 2. F4, but i guess it is not the best move to deal against french. Who the hell invented such a closed system against e4 ... Do you know how to get to an more opened game after 1. e4 e6 ?
That's super easy.
Plan A: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3. exd5 exd5
Plan B: 1.e4 e6 2.c4 d5 3.cxd5 exd5 4.exd5 Qxd5

If you want an open game you can play 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 exd5 4. c4. May not be the most critical system according to the theory but completely sufficient at your level plus not all the French players are that familiar with the arising position type.
