Feb 26, 2020 · criss-cross inverted raises is designed to distinguish game forcing raises of minor suits from raises that are only invitational. (The double raise is still weak and preemptive in either case, but according to Bridge World Standard 2017, shows "some values", i.e. enough to have a shot at 3NT if partner has 18-19 balanced.)
Using criss cross, the bids of 2♦*after 1♣, and 3♣* after 1♦, Jump Shifts (J/S) in the other minor (an alert – in Red on the Convention Card), show a limit raise (10-12 HCP) and at least 4-card support for the bid minor, and denies a 4-card major. These bids are invitational to game.
