| 4... cxd5 5.e4 |

6.Bb5+ is an important move. You don't want Black exchanging queens first 5...dxe4

4.e4 After (1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nc3 e5) is logical but it gives up a pawn.

4...e4 is the strongest move.
White wins 37% loses 34% draws 29%
Black cane even try to maintain his center as Nimzovich recommended with the advaced version of the french.
This by a Fianchetto of his bishop on the queen side.

4...exd4 does worse because White can take back with his queen without
loseng tempo. (because the knight can't go to c6 thier is a pawn there.) This also give black an isolated Queen pawn.
On average White wins 51% loses 8% draws 41%
But higher rated players can handle these weaknesses
