I think at his age, Li Tian should not play 2.c3 lines against the Sicilian. He should be going for the main lines so that he can fully develop his understanding of the Sicilian. He might lose a lot more games this way, but this will definitely help him in the long run.
Why not pay Kasparov or Karpov to give opinion of Li Tian? If can't play top chess at least can pay. Then everybody will know for sure if wasting time or not.
So obsessed with Li Tian getting im norm, so what if he becomes im and gm somebody please explain??
he still learning the main lines of the sicilian, when he completes the main lines study, he will use it ... just wait and see
