In bridge, if a 1 NT bidder is doubled, is it right to "redouble for rescue?"
There are nigh as many ways to play this as there are bridge partnerships in the world. What is correct at any given time is the system you agreed to play when you completed your convention card with this partner.

Along with redoubling for takeout, another common defense to the double is to pass forcing opener to redouble, which may then either be passed for penalty by responder or converted as part of a run-out strategy. Key advantages of this scheme include:
- Distinguishing between one-suited and two-suited escapes by bidding one shape immediately, and the other delayed.
- Putting additional pressure on the doubler after the forced redouble.
