It’s not really necessary to show all the lines.

Generally, You want to start with most popular.

Against 1.e4 - You would want to learn how to do well against the (Big 4) because you will see them far more vs. any other opening.

If you see a line 9 times out of 10 games, you need to study what to do against it sooner vs. a line you see 1 time out of 10 games.

Your Player rating will be more impacted based on the line you’re seeing 9 times out of 10 vs. the 1 out of 10.

———————————

Thus, you only need to start looking at the (Big 4) when it comes to e4.

- French Defense 1…e6

- Kings Defense 1…e5

- Caro Kan Defense 1…c6

- Sicilian Defense 1…c6

All other lines/openings get learned after you figure out the above lines because they are more popular.
