Explanation

In chess opening classification, the Sicilian Defense (1.e4 c5) is considered a 'Semi-Open Game' because White plays a standard king's pawn move (1.e4) but Black responds by controlling the center with a pawn on the c-file (c5) rather than mirroring with e5. Open games feature 1.e4 e5, while Closed games typically start with 1.d4.
