Nf6 variation and shows how White should handle the common transition from the IQP to hanging c- and d-pawns:. The resulting positions here are very similar to those often encountered from a more orthodox 2.
In fact, our very next game, Mamedov - Wojtaszek , started this way and reaches a position after 14 moves that is almost identical to the Kobalia game, but could also have been reached from a Panov Attack in the Caro-Kann, as well as less common transpositions from the Scandinavian, Alekhine's Defence or even the 1. Definitely the sort of position you should study, if only for your chess understanding in general.
