    Timur Gareev versus Ray Robson in the last round of the US Championship in St. Louis, Missouri, Gareev played a line from the Veresov. Here, I hope, is the score:

1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Bg5 c5 4. Bf6 gf6 5. e4 de4 6. dc5 Qa5 7. Bb5 Bd7 8. a4 a6 9. Ra3 Nc6 10. Nge2 e6 11. b4 Qb4 12. Rb3 Qa5 13. O-O ab5 14. Ne4 Be7 15. ab5 Ne5 16. N2c3 Rc8 17. Qd4 Qc7 18. c6 bc6 19. b6 c5 20. Nf6 Bf6 21. Qf4 Qd8 22. Ne4 Ng6 23. Qf3 Be5 24. Rd1 Qe7 25. b7 Rb8 26. Rb6 O-O 27. g3 f5 28. Ng5 Bc7 29. Rd7 Qd7 30. Re6 Bd8 31. Qb3 Kh8 32. Qc3 Qd4 33. Nf7

        The commentators made a lot of comments about Gareev's choice of moves here. I watched the game at www.chess24.com, and I think you can still watch the whole days games with Yasser Seirawan, Jennifer Shahade, and Maurice Ashly commentating. 

    Gareev also played at the tournament in conjuction with the Hawaii Chess Festival last month. The above game is fun to go through, and I thought he was doing better early and into the middle, than the commentators stated. There was some venom in his positions.  I thought, for instance, that Gareev could get a piece back on move 23 with either Nxf6+, or even Qxf6. He chose not to, and his game went down the tube soon.

    I play the Veresov sometimes, and have had decent results with it.
