In the 1920s the then so-called “hyper-moderns” broke away from the dogma that at the start of the game the centre absolutely had to be occupied with pawns. Instead of playing 1.e4 or 1.d4 they opened with 1.Nf3 and left it up to Black to follow up in the classical pattern with 1...d5. This results in the starting position of the system of Richard Réti (1889–1929), who from 1923 on played in this way with great success against the strongest of opposition. In the Réti System White holds back his central pawns for some time; instead he increases his central influence by playing the fianchetto g3, Bg2 and plans to attack the black d-pawn with c2-c4 – either on the second move or later.

You can sort the games by frequency using the Players tab (with the Total tab). Hikaru Nakamura is at the top with 1034 games, followed by Rasmus Svane (832). Both have played the most games with the white pieces. It is also worth studying Vladimir Kramnik, whose number of games played (310) is comparatively tiny, but who is a great specialist of the move 1.Nf3. It's also interesting to click on titles; (you should have an up-to-date player encyclopaedia installed) you can see that almost all world champions had or still have the Queen's Indian in their repertoire.
The games can be played through or analysed further with an engine or a Powerbook.
