Bidding
RCO (or Inverted CRO)
An obvious modification of CRO is to reverse the allocation for colour and rank.
thus:-
cue-
2NT two suits of the same Colour
3♣ two suits Other
This method has much to commend it.
You are now able to show both majors at the two-
However, if your opponents open 1♦ or 1♠ then you must again bid 3♣ to show clubs and hearts, which is at least preferable to the three opening bids which produce this effect in inverted Ghestem.
