Mar 5, 2020 at 19:14 comment added Evargalo There are all kind of GM repertoires! My pupils who copied Leko (Spanish and open Sicilian as white, Caro kann as black) got many open positions.
Mar 5, 2020 at 19:10 comment added PhishMaster But the TYPES of positions do not play to kids' strengths: They see everything, but they do not understand at that level. You want open, tactical positions, and that is not the the types of positions you get from elite repertoires.

Mar 5, 2020 at 19:06 comment added Evargalo @phishmaster : whatever the repertoire you build, no child will play it at grandmaster level. Of course, you teach simple lines and main ideas first, and refine little by little when your pupil gains in experience and in playing strength...
Mar 5, 2020 at 18:17 comment added V. Sambor This is what I was doing for myself :) Thank you for your suggestions. He likes open positions, is an e4 player, but not very aggressive, I was thinking something like Caruana for white. He likes playing French with black. (I don't know if Caruana is playing this with black) And I am afraid Caruana plays too many variations in general...like all top players. So hard to pick the best model.
