The opening you end up with in your repertoire are normally a part of your chess history. It is also quite normal that you for a period get tired of an opening if you loose some crucial games. Then it is an advantage to have a reserve (like you have against d4) that you can use while the other is in for repair (or just waiting for your feelings to be realistic again). So I would recommend that you stick on to your French but ads an alternative. It could be CaroKann (I know the players of the two openings like to bully each other, but they have a lot in common) or Scandinavian (I guess you avoid e5 and c5 because of all the theory?). I play CaroKann against e4 Because of a book of Bent Larsen, that was very popular i Denmark in the 80's, suplementet by the Aljechin (because it is so rare).

That looks like a good course but it's freaking expensive.

I play french and KID, I love it
I am never able to fix a repertoire against white. I am presently playing French against e4 and against d4 I play either the Benko Gambit or KID or modern Benoni.
What do you play as black and why?
