He is 1 year 1 month old and always when we play 1vs1 he takes one of my pawns and runs . I use to play e4 or g3 and he usyally takes it and runs very fast. I tried to show him the Alekhine deffense but he threw the knight and took the g7 pawn and ran. We are 6-5 for him in general score (when i catch him its 0-1 ) Before starting his chess career to becoome a GM , what should I train him ?

He is also a great tactician because sometimes he hides the pawn and i can't find it

LOL wait till he's three and then maybe you can make a great player of him!

I think you are doing the right thing. Keep teaching him openings.

Eventually, he will appreciate.

Sounds like he is on the right path, I would suggest 3 hours a day of watching Teletubbies followed by a 5 mile run. Good body=Good Player. He will be a NM by the time he is 3 and a GM shortly after.

There aren't Teletubbies on the tv

Since he seems to like pawns --you might want to show hime the value of connected passed pawns.  I'm sure he'll appreciate that.
