Alekhine's Defense

The French exchange. I face it 90% of the time. I think people play it to avoid theory. But it is the exact opposite.

Any exchange openings normally are boring, I know how you feel man!

A while ago I hated facing the Alekhine's but I learnt a bit more about the opening from white and I don't mind it now!
