Mar-08-03  Rookpawn: The French Exchange was common in the days of Anderssen, but now it is rarely played. Black can break the symmetry at almost any time he pleases.
Oct-08-04  Spassky69: The opening was played horribly by Hiarcs. First of all the idea of this opening is to keep as much pieces on the board possible for white since he has the isolated d-pawn and challenge blacks control of d5 with Ne2! then if Bg4? f3 Bh4 Nf3 Bg6 f4 and white has an extremely double edged position that could lead to a devastating Kingside attack. White should have played c4 first then Be3 followed by Ne2 the Nf4 if not Bg4 to challenge d5. Every exchange in the exchange variation is favorable to black since to trade down with a structural weakness.
Mar-01-05  Orbitkind: Just looks like a load of trading.

  aw1988: <The French Exchange was common in the days of Anderssen, but now it is rarely played. Black can break the symmetry at almost any time he pleases.> I don't aim for symmetry, I just play the exchange because it really annoys most French players.
May-11-05  Akavall: If white would play exchange variation on me I would play French all the time. Black has a really good a choice here, they can follow symmetry if they want to play safe, and if they want to play for a win there is a line with Nc6, 0-0-0... 3. Nc3 is what I can't handle.
