A while ago, rubberjaw and I started a game to see what two mildly low level players could make of the French exchange variation. He thought it gave white an advantage (although he may have changed his mind since I think), I thought it was essentially drawn.
Here is the game. I realize we both made some mistakes, but overall, does it seem typical of the Exchange variation? Anyone care to help us analyze this.

but i did change my mind a bit...
might need to start looking into the more mainline Frenches...
not he Advanced though...
it's horrible...
maybe the Nc3 variation?

just couldn't find the move...
any chance we can switch this over to the other thread where i've already put in my 2 cents worth?
that might make things easier...

I agree with Korch, the endgame must be won for white. 54. a7 appears to be wrong as by the time the KRPvKP ending occurs EGTB gives it as drawn.
other thread please...
i already wrote a bunch of junk on this game...

As long as Black avoids trading down (especially swapping all the rooks on the open e-file) both sides have excellent winning chances. Black can play ...Bd6 and ...Ne7 and ...Bf5 to create a dynamic game. BTW, according to http://www.chesslab.com Black has a plus score in the Exchange French.
