JUST BRIDGE...

 

 DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE

 

by Beverly Kraft -Eric Kokish


  Bridge was once a much simpler game. For example, apart from the notorious Lightner Slam Double (to direct a certain lead) there were only two meanings for a double - takeout or penalty. In today's game the double has undergone a metamorphosis; if you enjoy reading about the game, you might come across doubles labelled negative, responsive, competitive, action, optional, support, maximal overcall, game-try, fourth-suit, and yet others. It is certainly possible to play a good game of bridge without adopting any of them, but it can be useful to see how a few of the more popular doubles operate.

 Let's try a few situations comparing "traditional" and "modern" methods, with South to interpret the meaning of double.
