	The problem compared to the Petroff (as far as I understand), is in the Petroff you don't normally have difficulties pushing ...d6-d5. In the ed6 Exchange Alekhine, ...d5 can normally be met with c4-c5, at which point you tend to have to do something not so fun with your b6 Knight.

What is so bad about 5...exd6, especially? I play ocassionally the Петров, and the positions look similar to me. Just a solid, symmetrical structure. I think it is the lack of a clear active plan for black who gets a bit cramped and has some difficulty in getting his pieces out onto good active squares, while white usually has a simpler time consolidating his space...or at least thats how it feels to me. I thnk quite a few players on the blackside get put off playing this opening because of having to face the exchange variation (or its the line they complain about the most lol) I think i have seen it compared with the Petroff before (i dont play the latter so i dont know). I'm sure one of the other guys can probably give a better explanation than me though
