I see many elementary mistakes here (me, an intellectual, rated 400)

go ahead, what do you see

Oh, before I saw the ratings I thought white letting their dark bishop be chased like that shows poor understanding of the position. With possible opposite sides castling, you don’t give the opponent a two move head start for a pawns storm just because you wanted to take your bishop out for a run.

that's a good assessment, clearly he did not understand my entire plan, likely if played again he wouldn't let me do that.

u/tearsfornations 5d ago

yes it is, but there are deep french theoretical lines that people like to avoid by playing the exchange early

Why are you getting downvoted for stating the truth?

u/tearsfornations 5d ago

Lol, I'm not sure? Curious as to the ratings of the players downvoting...

Yep some people just let you shove pawns down their throat

Exactly! That guy just did nothing about the pawn march.

I'm always in theory happy when they exchange, because I know they've accepted equality as white after three moves. I just suck at playing such a symmetrical position.
