 This agreement is guaranteed to find a 7 card trump fit at the 2 level, and often an 8 card fit. Of course if the opponents intervene with a bid, then the opener and Responder shut up! The partnership is now out of trouble and has escaped!
+Occasionally it will be the RHO of the opener who will double after opener’s partner has passed.  In this case opener passes, and if LHO passes, Responder executes the same agreement except that a pass is replaced by a redouble.  In this case the redouble cannot mean partner has 10+ HCP because it that were so partner would have bid the first time rather than pass.
