A CHIN IS PERFORMED WITH A SUPINATED GRIP (Palms Facing). A PULLUP IS PERFORMED WITH A PRONATED GRIP (Palms Away). A PULLUP IS A TYPE OF CHIN. END OF DISCUSSION.

Re-opens it.
Yes, silles is correct.

That's the way I learned it.
www.exrx.net defines the difference based on how far up ou pull yourself, it seems. (Chins=getting your chin up to the bar, pullups=getting your whole neck past the bar.)
