like i said earlier, i hate playing against the french which is one of the reasons i dont usually play 1. e4 anymore. so im going with an aggressive line against it where im sacrificing a pawn (my d4 pawn is unprotected) for the initiative. i think black pretty much has to take my pawn but im happy to give it up in exchange for much quicker development, and this could turn into a game thats a lot more fun for me to play
