Taking Down an Ill-Advised Jobava!

As is typical in the amateur world, people see a few games with an opening and wrongfully think it is legit against everything, not truly understanding the point of each move.

Having played the Veresov for 2 years in the 2000's, the point after 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nc3 is to play e4, not to play Bg5 (or Bf4 in the case of the Jobava or Barry).  3.Bg5 or 3.Bf4 should be played when 3.e4 is prevented by a move like 2...d5, when the h2-b8 diagonal is weakened.

But no, he did everything he could to force in Bf4 and Nc3, and some fake kingside attack, just to get Blasted on the queenside.  White should play 2.e4 here or 2.c4 or 2.Nf3.  2.Nc3 is actually meaningless against 1...e6 because the point of 2.Nc3 is to get in e4.  Against 1...e6, you can get in e4 now and save a tempo.

Black then wins a pawn, which White tries to win back, but then a pin occurs and he drops a pawn anyway.  Black's knight reaches a dominant position and Black wins a second pawn before before cashing in and trading to a won endgame.  Due to severe time trouble, Black misses 56...Qd3+, but won anyway.

It should also be noted that 49...Rf1+ and 50...Qxc2 fails to 51.Qb8+ with a perpetual as 51...Kc5 allows 52.Qe5+ while 51...Ka6 is answered by 52.Qa8+.
