He constructs an improved version of a repertoire he has himself utilized with great success against grandmaster opposition.

Play the Benko Gambit
The Benko Gambit is undoubtedly one of Black's most dynamic openings. In return for his pawn investment Black gains long-term pressure, which is often so powerful it continues right through into the endgame. White must decide whether to grab the pawn and try to hold on, or to choose a more aggressive approach. Either way, Black generally succeeds in his aim of unbalancing the position from a very early stage.

Bobby Fischer decided to learn Russian to be able to read that work and immediately afterwards started playing the Ragozin.
