Features: This book introduces an important and commonly used bidding convention in bridge— (redouble), which appears in the bidding process of competing bids. In modern bridge, redoubles occur very frequently and are often not used to express natural penalty meanings, but rather as conventionals to convey certain special hand features or to require partner to describe the hand. This booklet provides an in-depth yet easy-to-understand explanation of the definitions and bidding structures of several conventional redoubles used in opening bids and defensive plays, elaborates on the application and precautions of penalty redoubles, and lists several high-scoring penalty hand examples for reference. Redouble is an important topic that players frequently encounter and need to respond to. Whether or not to double and how to handle redoubles are often the key to success or failure in a single hand, or even in an entire match.
