The Fischer game is one of 1000 in "The best of the best" informant, analysed (?) by Gligoric. The publisher of "Chess Evolution" would not be happy with the count of variations in the early days of the chess informant. 
Note: Gligoric later published a nice book about the Nimzo...

Roll Eyes They had no computers, no engines, no databases, no whatever - but still a lot of the "old" analysis and comments are outraging. I don't think a "Houdini-based" variation bump is the same effort..

"Nimzo-Indian 4 f3 d5 [E27]
Finally this month, here's a new (well, old but forgotten!) way for Black to meet the 4 f3 Variation:

1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Bb4 4 f3 d5 5 a3 Bxc3+ 6 bxc3 0-0 (the main line is 6...c5 7 cxd5 Nxd5) 7 cxd5 exd5 8 e3 Nh5!?:

Black's idea with 8...Nh5 is to disrupt White's smooth development and to force some sort of concession. This looks like an interesting alternative to the "Botvinnik-Capablanca" line reached after 8...c5 9 Bd3 b6 10 Ne2 Ba6. See Timofeev-Almasi, Legnica 2013, for analysis."

8...Nh5!? is the famous game Gheorghiu - Fischer, La Habana (ol) 1966, Fischer went on to lose in 50 moves.
