A closed opening will have pawns in the center of the board which will limit the scope/range of the pieces. An open opening will see pawns captured/exchanged opening the center. That will give the pieces scope/range.

A position is open when files and diagonals are open.
A position is closed when files and diagonals are closed.
1 e4 e5 is called open as it usually leads to open positions.
1 d4 d5 is called closed as it usually leads to closed positions.
Usually is not always.
This for example is the closed variation of the Ruy Lopez, an open opening.

This is the open variation, characterised by the move 5...Nxe4 that opens files and diagonals

1. e4 e5 ---> Open Game.
1.e4 {something else than e5} ---> Semi Open game.
1. {Any other move than 1.e4} ---> Closed game.
This is the official nomenclature, and every other definition you can read above is speculative.

How about 1. e4 Nc6 2.Nf3 e5?
Or 1.Nf3 Nc6. 2. e4 e5.

How about 1. e4 Nc6 2.Nf3 e5?
Or 1.Nf3 Nc6. 2. e4 e5.
Same as, for example, after 1.c4 e5 2.e4, or 1.d4 e5 2.e4, or 1.Nc3 e5 2.e4, or you name it: Transposition to an open game.

That's a transposition 😀

Que tal? Comunico mi duda: porque se llama apertura abierta o cerrada? o sea, qué tiene de cerrada la apertura cerrada y de abierta la abierta? Muchas gracias
