RMB1 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Another form of CRASH that noone has mentioned is over their 1 of a suit opening bid - cue = same colour; 2NT = same rank; 3♣ = same shape. Where I play/direct, this is known as CRO (Colour/Rank/Other) and leads to the same forgets as Ghestem. Naturally this is different from the 1♣ and 1NT cases in that both suits are known. Unfortunately some pairs (or at least some players) play it as ambiguous over minor suit openers: (1♣)-3♣ as 5-5 C+H or D+S. This leads to more problems if only one half of the partnership plays it this way and is not always permitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
