At the moment black is looking in good shape see games of Radjabov, and Nakamarua. The good database stats for white were from a good ten years ago. Even Kramnik has moved on to other lines now. Club players even less likely to make progress in this line.

Bologan's 2009 book looks at two lines. One the ultimate main line with 10...f5 as in the game below, with two main branches 12f3 and 12Bf3

Most books on the KingsIndian recommend this for some reason. Don't particularly like allowing white to use is main idea of ng5-e6. With a bit of searching can find articles on it on chess com.

Other line is 10...a5 which is more of a Bologan speciality. It aims to knock out, white's queen-side plan, whilst making wait for ng5.

Hardly. That was all the rage when I first saw the line, in about 1992! First white was playing g3 to keep the N out of f4, and then they started playing Re1, to meet Nf4 with Bf1. There's been tons of games in this.
