For examplein French : e4 e6 there is no d4 answer, or in sicilian e4 c5 there is not Nf3 ...
I think it would be MUCH better if You introduce the main lines and remove some very weak moves like f3 or others that I found , so that the test will be much more fair
As Adam already pointed out, the arising main positions are there, but some sequences have been removed. I think this is just fine, considering that you need positions.

I have also excluded some mainstream gambits and countergambits, like the Albin and Falkbeer, as at least personally to me it is not clear what happens there. This is not a strictly theoretical book, but the aim was to provide some variety of play by excluding positions that might be lost.

Some say Fischer won many games online, starting with 1. f3. :)
