📕 17.Bg5!
Again a weakening of the Black position with very concrete consquences. When White directly challenges Black on the light squares he will sorely miss the move ...Be6. 17...f6 18.Ne4! Qc7 19.Nc3! Qd6 20.Rxe7! +/-.

White's plan is obvious. Perhaps this is just another example of White rather relaxed about his material investment, confident in slow long-term pressure. These are the impressive ones when the minor piece is still full value even with a degree of simplification. In any case, not every King's Indian player's cup of tea!
