Bergen Redouble Over Notrump - A method to show opening 1 Notrump
partner assurance of a solid contract when intervening opponent doubles to
show a one-suited or two-suited hand.
Example:
1N - (X) - XX shows 6-7 points.
Conversely, when
responder does
not redouble, making a 1 Notrump contract is doubtful. However, if
opponent's double was penalty-oriented, then responder's calls follow the
DONT Convention:
