Semi-Open Game
Let an agent explain semi-open games and their main defences and ideas, support learning and choosing openings, describe classification and theory resources, and support chess study.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
In chess, any opening that begins with the king pawn advanced two squares by White and is answered by Black with a move other than the symmetrical king pawn advance, including the Sicilian, French, Caro-Kann, Pirc, Modern, Alekhine and Scandinavian defences and rarer replies such as the Owen, Nimzowitsch and Elephant Gambit lines and unusual defences named in opening catalogues; semi-open games are the most common openings in modern chess and are classified in opening encyclopaedias.
Why it exists Filled
