CSGibson Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 [hv=n=shdkxca86&w=sxhdxxcqx&e=shdatcktx&s=shxxdcj97]399|300|[/hv] This is actually a hand I played in the red ribbons. This ending occurred at our table. Hearts is trump, south to play. When south leads a trump, LHO makes the mistake of discarding his remaining spade, and North discards a club, RHO being caught in a squeeze - if he discards a club, ace and another club will see declarer home, and if he discards a diamond, declarer can lead a club to the ace, ruff out the diamond ace, and then lead a small club from hand. Any idea what this squeeze is called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 It's a steppingstone squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSGibson Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I was thinking it was some sort of variant of a winkle and trump squeeze, but wasn't sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I suppose it's a type of trump steppingstone squeeze, since instead of unblocking then throwing in you ruff then throw in. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
