I disagree. in the Kings Indian play is strategically profound.
In computer chess terms it means that specific move-order sequences have
consequences beyond the computer's event horizon more than fifteen or twenty
moves away.
Also this was King's Indian by transposition from the Spanish Game. Gari avoided
alot of open lines that way.
