13.Nb5 isn't the main line here, but it's clearly one of White's most thematic moves in this position. 

White's Q-side expansion is fairly thematic in the King's Indian, so the idea of Nb5 and b4 is always out there. Here, the standard response of counterattacking on the K-side should have been sufficient for dynamic equality. Gelfand and others have tried 13...h5 with the idea of Bh6, Be3 and possibly f5. Others have tried 13...f5!? with good results.

Im just beginning to learn the theory of all of the KID and I ran into this move unexpectedly in a 30 min online game. 1.d4Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Be2 O-O 6.Nf3 e5 7.d5 a5 8.Bg5 h6 9.Bh4 Qe8 10.Nd2 Na6 11.O-O Nh7 12.a3 Bd7 13.Nb5
I dont remember seeing this move in Gallaghers starting out book. I wasnt sure how to play this. I can show the rest of the game, but we both found a lot of cringe worthy errors when we analyzed it afterwards. Theres got to be something better than what I tried. 

13. Nb5 h5 14.f3 Bh6 15.b4 axb4 16.axb4 Be3+ 17.Bf2 Bxf2+ 18.Rxf2 Bxb5 19.cxb5 Nxb4 20.Rxa8 Qxa8 21.Nc4 Qa7 22.Qb3 Qc5 23.Bf1 Ra8 24.Ne3 Ra1 25.Rb2 Qc1 26.Re2 Rb1 27.Qc4 Qxc4 28.Nxc4 Ra1 29. b6 and the server was restarting so our game got aborted.


Also I tried to look for similar games in an online database, but nobody's played b4 on move 15 for white.
