well i'm playing catalan setups, so I can't really avoid it. I just need to find a good response to it.

Fascists! Tell them you will play whatever the hell you want, and the worldwide chess community stands beside you!
Recently I've taken up the catalan and I get pretty playable positions with the open catalan, but if black doesn't take on c4 we get the closed catalan positions and it seems very difficult to prove an advantage. I must be doing something wrong as the open catalan is supposedly better for black than the closed. So how do you deal with the closed catalan?
