Regarded as suspect until the mid-1930s, the King's Indian was rehabilitated by Boleslavsky, Bronstein and Konstantinopolsky, then carried by Fischer and Kasparov. The plan: let White build the big centre, lock it, and throw every kingside pawn at the enemy king — Kasparov's ...g3 pawn storm against Piket at Tilburg 1989 is the picture of it.
