Great line against the King's Indian Defense

I've finally found a line I like against the KID and I'm posting this for the benefit of others who are also struggling with the sharp mainlines. Here is a sample GM game:

The idea is that it is an improvement on the Exchange Variation, and white will have pressure on the d6 square and nice activity for his pieces.
I wouldn't be too enthusiastic. There are numerous deviations like 8. ... Na6. Against 6. h3 there is ...c5, a playable approach and so on. The KID has 9 lives.

PS: I learned with both colors that Black has always enough potential to mess it up and wins after all.
