I think Quest is using the book which I prepared for Fritz 6. In this book the
King's Indian is activated and played activly by Black. It is true that the
King's Indian is strategically a very complex opening, but in the featured game
Tiger vs. Quest a variation was played where White attacks on the queenside and
Black on the kingside where the white king hides. So Quest had a "normal" attack
which suited him quite well.
By the way they followed the blindfold game Shirov vs. Nunn from Monaco 1995.
24...f3!? was Quest's new move whereas Nunn played 24...Bd7.

Greetings Alex
