Brilliant Move in a Wild Endgame
French Defense: Exchange Variation
e6 d5
In the Exchange French, White solves the problem of the attack on e4 in the simplest way - by exchanging on d5. This frees the black bishop on c8, but leads to a symmetrical position where White is to move.
Pros: Safe, Simple, Little knowledge necessary
Cons: Overly simplistic, Gives up White’s potential space advantage in a symmetrical position, White must show their cards first
