Canap?

Canap?

Canap? is a bridge convention which refers to a system of bidding where the second suit bid is always longer (or at least as long) as the first. With a minimum 5-4 it may be necessary to bid the first suit twice before the short suit. It is often found in European systems such as Blue club. The chief advantage is that with a moderate 2 suiter, you often get to bid a short major, which has marked preemptive value.

Invention of the concept is attributed to early French master Pierre Albarran.
