This is definitely stronger than Olafsson's Qd2.

18. Qc2
Here, I realised that Black would be in serious trouble if he plays passively.
h5!?
The Bd6 controls too many key central squares and has to be dislodged by h5-h4. Black also feints a Kingside attack so that White cannot concentrate fully on his piece play.

Without this move, Black is totally lost. White is forced to trade Bishops, leading to a drawn endgame. It seems ironical to put the pawn on a dark square but the White King is denied two more squares.

The drawing plan is just 42...Rxf3+ 43.Kg2 Re3 and shuffle the Black king from h5 to g6 and back till White plays a4. Black will then put the R on a3 and shuffle the king back and forth again. If the White king crosses the e file, f4-f3 will ensure the draw.
1/2-1/2

Endorsed by the World No 1 player (not politically correct to say World Champion these days) Kasparov. The disadvantage of this line is that one has to waste time flinging the h pawn in order to attack the Kingside whereas with 9...Nd7, you just need to shove the g pawn. However, OTB GM Zdenko Kozul's 14.c5! in response to 9...Nd7 was sufficient to convince me that Black can only grovel for a draw in that line.
10. Be3
The sharpest line in the Classical KID. Heavy hitters with white are Kozul, Korchnoi and Piket.

played to prevent
13. c5
g5
Black has four general plans here 1. Kasparov's Kh7, Bh6 and the sacrifice of the g4 pawn which will allow the whole queenside to get mobilised - 2. The typical Rf7, Bf8 and Rg7 (or h7) and finally g5-g4. 3. Nunn's Nxd6 after cxd6, followed by Rf6-g6 (or h6). 4. Play Bh6, Rf7-g7 and abandon the whole queenside.
14. Rc1
Well, Plan 1 is out of the question because the Rook arrives on c7 with a check and plan 4 deserves consideration because the Rc1 can be a target for the Bh6. Here are some key games which shape the theory of this interesting line.

17. a5?!
I think White has mixed up his plans here. Rc1 and a4-a5 does not work well together. The a pawn could become a target for the White Queen after cxd6, cxd6. If anything, 17.a5 is a waste of an important tempo, fatal in KID Classical flank attacks.
Rg7
18. Rc2
White decides not to follow through his flank attack and work on prophylactic defence instead. This gives Black the chance to unleash
g4!

allowing hxg4 is tantamount to suicide so instead he decided to ditch the exchange with
