semi slav to reti transposes, but lichess still says they're different, giving prescident to the move order to determine name of the position's opening.

even though the position is the same

there is no inherent point, just an observation to share

there is no inherent point, just an observation to share

also, it's the same position, surely they should have an "official name" to say "opening x has transpositioned to the y variation of opening z"

FIDE has never seemed to want to get involved in the naming of openings and the A09 system is from a private book publishing house.
