Hypermodern chess strategy was the single most devastating innovation of 20th century chess thought. Fuelled by such towering figures as Aron Nimzowitsch and Richard Reti, hypermodern ideas forced their way into prominence and blazed the trail for the dynamic adoption by the Soviet chess school of defences such as the King's Indian and the Grunfeld.
With both of these championed by Gary Kasparov, the greatest player of all time, it is clear that hypermodern openings and defences are still setting the agenda as chess enters the 21st century.
