A draw though is an allowed outcome of the game. Most white players don't play this because black tends to get an easier to play pawn structure. In the above game, black getting the two bishops would be another reason why white players wouldn't play this. There are better ways to play for a draw in the King's Indian I think.
Is the Exhange variation for complete wusses/
Sort:
After 9.Bg5 leave your rook there and play Na6. You increase your chances grinding them out. Look for info in GM Bojkovs book : Modernized the Kings Indian Defense.

Lol. Your level of stupidity is rampant. Now people are weak wimps for playing a variation with 0 theory that allows them to focus their time on more important things like tactics? (so they take all the hanging pieces you drop)
You are
1- Stupid
2- Random patzer, why do you act as if opening choices at your level marked the outcome of the game
3- Super stupid, play Nbd7 before e5 and you will not face more Exchange variations.

Also, how do you know they have timid personalities. Lol. You are a big joke my chum.
One reason for a GM or IM choosing this against a King's Indian expert is that they'll have faced it much less often than the big main lines like the Mar del Plata, Petrosian, Saemisch and others.
If Black avoids it by playing Nbd7 and only then e5 (as suggested by Bronstein Pawn) then White will have scored a small victory, as the old-fashioned lines with Nbd7 create fewer problems for White than the Nbc6 lines.
As BronsteinPawn also points out, at lower levels it makes no difference.
Th exchange variation is just another way to play chess... and the rest are nonsense. See an 2700+ player (and KID expert) being demolished with the exchange:

Yes. Nbd7-e5 lines are not as troublesome and are quite different from Nc6 lines.
However I think this is a valid approach if you know the lines well and know your opponent plays the Exchange.
Kasparov did just what I said againts Ulf Andersson, which was known to outplay a lot of poor souls in the Exchange KID.
Interesting. No need to be rude guys.
Practitioners of the Exchange Variation can be divided into three categories. Firstly, there are the endgame lovers who play this system with the intention of grinding you down in a long boring endgame. These people deserve some respect, although our main feeling towards them should be one of sympathy for having such a feeble system against the King's Indian. The second category are the psychologists. These are the tricky characters who select this variation because they feel that it is the most unpleasent for you to play against, especially if you are noted as a tactical player. The third, and in my experience, the most numerous category, are the wimps. They select this variation with the idea of killing the drams and achieving an easy draw. ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD THEY BE GIVEN ONE UNTIL EVERY LAST POSSIBILITY HAS BEEN EXHAUSTED. Make sure you play it on till the vert end as the sort of person who plays this varaition is liable to crack at some point. They are, with some exceptions of course, pyschoogically weak - GM Joe Gallagher
I must agree. I faced this twice recently and both people had very timid personalities, and were lower rated players who just wanted a draw.
