I just finished playing through Clarke's book on the former world champion. The man had a deep understanding of the game. He probably understood Nimzovich better than anyone in his time and this is manifested by his play, his use of restraint as a recurring theme in his games. He also had a great command of tactics. His game against Larsen and others in this book shows this clearly enough. Anyone wishing to play against the King's Indian would do well to study his victories in his book playing the white side against this aggressive opening.
