Lord Molyb Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 [hv=pc=n&s=sak2h7daca95&w=st876hd65cj6&n=shdt973ck872&e=sqjhdkjcqt43]399|300[/hv] South is on lead and needs 7 more tricks. He starts with the good heart. West discards a spade and north discards a diamond, but east has to find a discard. A diamond concedes the rest of the tricks and is obviously no good.1. If east throws a spade, play the ace of spades and a low spade away from the king, throwing a diamond and a club from dummy. East has to part with a club now. No matter what west exits, the ♠K squeezes east in the minors.2. If east discards a club, play the ace of clubs and a low club, ducking the king. Now the clubs are established.

blackshoe Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Why you asking for my girlfriend's name? :D Afraid I'm not up on terminology of bridge squeezes. This seems more like some kind of throw-in, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 It looks like the hand will probably end in a (non-positional) simple squeeze to me, though you have to know what you are doing to produce the ending. And if West exits with a club when in with the spade, it becomes a criss-cross squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gszes Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 stepping stone a form of triple squeeze (simple) since no compoundsqueeze ever develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 stepping stone a form of triple squeeze (simple) since no compoundsqueeze ever develops. East is not squeezed in spades. To demonstrate this we can just duck a spade now before cashing the heart. There is no stepping stone, unless one thinks that every time you lose a trick you have brought off some sort of coup. :P The play we have made appears on about page two of all squeeze books - we are simply rectifying the count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
