Closed Sicilian
 

The Closed Sicilian in some ways resembles a reversed King's Indian, and involves White fianchettoing his light-squared bishop and avoiding d2-d4. Most typically it evolves after 1 e4 c5 2 Nc3 Nc6 3 g3 where White takes a grip on d5 and Black takes a corresponding grip on d4, keeping the position closed.

Check out the following examples.
