Slav bishop sacrifice: 14.Kc3
What's all this about? I was always given to understand that this was inferior to 14.Kc2, but it seems to have been played a bit recently.

Hello Guys,
I’m writing this post after far too many draws after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 (some guys play 3.e3 and then Nf3, not sure I get their point). I’m a semi-slav player so I initial...

1 d4 d5 2 c4 c6 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 Nc3 e6 5 Bg5
After 1 d4 d5 2 c4 c6 3 Nf3 Nf6 4 Nc3 e6, Larry Kaufman in his book "The Chess Advantage in Black and White" calls 5 Bg5 the Botvinnik System but isn't it only the Botvinnik if Black plays 5...dxc4?

1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 c6 4.b3
4.b3 is very rare, but what is best against it ? 
After 4...Bd6 5.g3 f5 we have an ordinary stonewall which must be better for white in my view.
