e/Takeout double

Information
has gloss	eng: A takeout double is a conventional double used in a competitive auction (most often, immediately after an opponents opening bid) to show a desire to compete, in contrast to a penalty double, which indicates a desire to defend against the opponents contract. Usually, the call indicates support for the unbid suits and a hand of opening strength or more.
