I have often heard that chess programmers like to steer their programs away from
the King's Indian -- any thoughts on that why it may be true because it seems to
be very solid for Black with most of best players playing it.
Coincidently, I recently picked up Gligoric's Kings Indian Defence: Mar Del
Plata Variation - Svetozar is an excellent chesswriter and I enjoyed his writing
style so much I also picked up his "I Play Against Pieces". His style does not
overwhelm you with variations but actually uses the words to express the ideas
behind his thinking. He is clearly one of the best chess writers.
Below is game against Fischer that he won. This yet another game that I had to
correct from Chesslib database. The game actually ended at move 44. - the
database shows Fischer getting mated which simply did not happen. I sprinked
juts a couple the annotations from Gligoric's book to show you his style. The
game in the book is much more heavily annotated.
