You could find some interesting informations in the book of Glenn Flear (starting out: slav and semi-slav). You can exchange your bishop on f6 and get into a positionnal approach where white has a light edge (easier development and stronger center). Another way is to go back to h4 with your bishop when the game becomes more tactical (black weakens his K-side but is very strong on the Q-side. After Bh4, black can also choose for the Botvinnik variation. The game can then become very tactical and wild, is such a situation ismaterial less important than the opportunity to kill your opponent. Cheesy
  

Yusupov once said that “The problem with the Dutch Defence is that later in many positions the best move would be ...f5-f7” but he is surely wrong.

Can someone tell me a thing or two about the Moscow Variation for White? I heard that it is ultra-solid for Black, with a lot of counterpunches. What is a good line against the moscow?
