I just watched the chess.com video on Nakamura's blitz games and saw he was always playing the KIA.  I went to see if there were any chess.com videos on the opening and found very few from a long time ago, mostly by Galofre explaining how to counter the opening as black.

If I wanted to look up some high level games where the KIA is played, who's the player I should look into?

Fischer played quite a few KIA in his early days.

Westron

yeah Fischer liked playing it more than anyone in recent memory, but if memory serves me right I believe Kasparov played a few high profile games with it...

Thanks.  I suppose it is also related to the Reti.  Any idea who played the Reti?

I found 13 games listed for Kasparov playing KIA.

Kasparov was always playing the reti. So many transpositions can happen with that open.

Look up Nakamura, as you said yourself
