	I always see 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 Bg4( Bf5) being called "slav", even if black folows with e6 and not dxc4 later on, so I agree that you have to let the B on c8 to have a "semi-slav"

	Under the post Slav Question, me ("Anonymous3") and "trw" have been in an argument on what is the difference between the Slav and Semi-Slav. I ("Anonymous3") say that the Semi-Slav is where you play ...c6 and block in the bishop with ...e6 and the Slav is where you play ...c6 and generally develop the bishop outside the pawn chain. The Slav can involve ...dxc4. "trw" says that the Semi-Slav is where you play both ...c6 and ...e6 but it doesn't matter if the bishop is developed outside of the pawnchain or not and the Slav is where you play ...c6 and ...dxc4. Vote for who you think is correct.
