Brozel

Brozel is a contract bridge bidding convention used to intervene after an opposing one notrump (1NT) opening bid. It features the following calls:

  • Double – shows any single suit; advancer bids 2♣, after which intervenor corrects to his actual suit (or passes with clubs). This was originally played as requiring either a solid suit or a very good suit and an entry, leaving advancer the opportunity to pass with a couple of side-suit stoppers, though many partnerships now allow a weaker suit.
  • 2♣ – shows clubs and hearts
  • 2♦ – shows diamonds and hearts
  • 2♥ – shows hearts and spades
  • 2♠ – shows spades and an unspecified minor suit
  • 2NT – shows clubs and diamonds
