French Defense all the way! Give me White! Give me Black! Doesn't matter!
I won't play the Tarrasch or Exchange as White, but pretty much anything else is fair game from either side. I play the Advance, King's Indian Attack, and 3.Nc3 against the French, and everything except the Burn as Black (Winawer, Classical, McCutchen, Rubinstein, and of course the Black side of the Tarrasch, Exchange, Advance, KIA, and various gambit lines, like 2.b3 or the Wing Gambit).
This post made me happy and sad at the same time. Don't play the Exchange. Everything else is fine

The exchange French is just sad
The Exchange French is a free half point for Black and he gets to fight for the other half!
I love facing the exchange when I'm Black, especially against someone higher rated, but many lower rateds think it simplifies their game. Not against me it doesn't!
I'm not stupid enough to play it as White!

I don’t get it tbh, white has so many fighting options like the Paulsen, advance, KIA, etc so why chose the exchange? As far as I’m aware black seems to score better in it

Right after posting, I face an exchange against an 1800 player, and smashed him!

Nice game!
Wow! Bong cloud!? I would never try to play it in a rated game, to worried about my rating because it has gone down by 70 points the last few days.
I actually like the Sicilian Defense: Open, Löwenthal variation, you guys should check it out.
Checking out the Lowenthal is like checking out a 95 year old woman! No thanks!
Cool
