You need one that you understand better than the opponent.
You need to get right inside your chosen system and get experience
with it.  Talk it over with other players.  Play blitz games with it. 

You need one that offers active play for the beginner.  Only by
putting your superior opponent under pressure do you stand any chance
at all. 

You need one where either (a) the beginner's attack is wild, so your
opponent's better technique and experience are less relevant, or (b)
the beginner's attack works like clockwork.  Something that might fit
(a) might be a gambit opening (or defence), although gambits can be
declined - the Blackmar-Diemer, Budapest, Scotch, Elephant and/or
Vienna Gambits might be tried.  Something that might fit (b) is the
King's Indian Attack or the Colle System, although these may be
familiar to your opponent.  Hopefully they will be more familiar to
you!
