How to understand the half-chair conformation of cyclohexane?

Cyclohexane(cas 110-82-7) is commonly found in chair conformation and boat conformation, and the chair conformation is the most stable.
The structure in cyclohexane(cas 110-82-7) can be changed and changed to a certain extent, and the stability of this structure comes from the mutual repulsion of electrons between atoms.
In the chair conformation, the carbon atoms are not in the same plane, so there is no repulsion, so it is the most stable.

The half-chair conformation, where atoms are very close together, is the most unstable. Although there is no picture, you can imagine the structure of the following picture.
