They had many more resources then only standard openings books rember!
Secondly being  a good  theorist has nothing to do with playing strenght but
with a neutral and critical vieuwing point
Having a good positinal understanding.
And lots and lots of work
And not ending a position with the rest is a mather of technique
But playing through untill you have a real advantage
Which every one can win.
