The Kings Indian is definitely a way for black to play for a win. It produces a very unbalanced position where the better player will win. If it is 'passive', it's only passive in the sense that black concedes space in order to 'spring out' later.

I would never call the King's Indian "passive." Black tries to entice White to overextend while Black arranges a devastating (he hopes) Kingside attack. It was Fischer's favorite, and he was never known for passivity.

I think it depends on your style of play...
If youre any of the following, then you might think the KID is passive:
A passive, tactical player.
A tactically, passive player.
An agressive player that is looking for an agressive opening that is safe.
Now if youre one of the following, then you might think that the KID i agressive:
An agressively, tactical player.
A tactically agressive player.
An agressive player that likes tactiuclaly agressive openings, that arent safe.
A tactically agressive player that is looking for an opening that is agressive, and tactical.
Someone at some point said to you: "Man o man...you play like Tal"

This is what happens when youre 2 months away from being out of work, and your work day consists of being here all day :-)
I have just been wondering about this since I see a lot of people saying its a passive opening and aggressive players should stay away, but then I also see people saying its a very aggressive opening and I know Fisher and Kasparov used to play it and they both are aggressive players so i'm torn between which is true and why.
