dragon novelty

in the sicilian dragon, one of the most dangerous openings known to mortals, white always castles on the queenside, where black will be trying to kill him. So I got to thinking, what if white waits until black builds an army around the queenside, then moves the king to f2? It would look something like this:

This does not look great for White. For instance, what if 14...b4, the knight must move say  13. Nce2 then Black plays 13... Nexg4+ White cannot take the knight with the f-pawn since Black plays 14... Nxe4+ winning the queen. So White moves the king and Black plays 14... Nxe3. Black is a pawn up and White doen't have his White squared Bishop. Black has a winning advantage.

this type of position with K f2 is not something new

12.Nxc6 seems appealing.

Also, I'm not a fan of Black's e6. This cuts off the B/c8 from g4, a focal point for Black sacs in many Yugoslav positions.

More often then not in the Yugoslav Attack line of the Sicilian Dragon the losing side gets mated while within a move or two of delivering his own mate.  No formidable Dragoneer will waste a tempo with ..a6.  Therefore your line is of little value for analysis of your Kf2 idea.

9...Bd7 is mainline.

Also, black will try to attack with pieces not pawns

9..e6 is not good...
