We can be 99.99% sure the oponent does NOT know everything about French. But he plays French, he knows pawn structures, typical plans. Doesn't matter he might lack knowledge in some side-lines. If somebody asks for opening-in-10-minutes you don't usually tell him to learn French with 3. Nc3 but rather some side, positional lines. Once again, "opening in 10 minutes" is a nonsense.

And even if he did, that should not stop you from getting a reasonable game. On the other hand, he may know how to face 1.b4 or 1.f4, and then you would land not only in a position you have hastily look at, but in a dubious one on top of it. | |
