Do you prefer open positions or closed positions?

It depends on what my opponent opens up with as well because I prefer imbalance positions for counter play and opportunities. I find drawn or symmetrical games very annoying. If I had it my way, I prefer to play in the open since I am a Sicilian and English opening player.
I've been very studious lately in being positional, flexible and versatile with my play but I still struggle with closed positions on playing the correct move order and critical pawn breaks.
Open positions with imbalances. Oooooor closed against high rated players XD

I prefer unbalanced semi-open positions... such as those found in the Sicilian Najdorf or Scheveningen.

Semi closed, and positional.
Because that's where my opponents seem to make the most mistakes.

Have you tried fianchettoing your Queen instead of your Bishop? It's awesome.

In closed positions, fianchettoed bishops usually don't have straight lines.

When it's conserning me... I prefer the position in which I know what to do... how to play further.. after first moves.
What difference is between closed and semi-closed Chess positons l don't know.
