Lord Molyb Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 [hv=pc=n&s=sa32h32dca2&w=shdcqjt7643&n=s54hak5dac8&e=skqjhqjtdc9]399|300[/hv] NT, north leads. NS need 6 tricks. ♦A pitching a spade (unless east pitches a spade), east has to pitch ♣9 because a spade will allow a spade to be established and a heart gives all of the remaining tricks away. Now a club is ducked (east pitching a spade) and the forced club return squeezes east in the majors. [hv=pc=n&s=sa43h3dca&w=shdcqj764&n=s54hak5dc&e=skqhqjtdc]399|300[/hv] West is on lead after the club is ducked (North pitches a spade) If you lead a club immediately, the 9 prevents you from ducking the trick to west. If you duck to east, he returns a spade, breaking your communication for the squeeze. If you switch the ♣8 and 9, the squeeze also works by ducking a club, then winning the next club, crossing to the ♥A, and leading the ♦A. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If E throws a Major, play on that suit. If E throw her ♣, duck a ♣ to W and W's club return squeezes E in the Majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Molyb Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 What squeeze ?You have three ♥ and three more Aces .You're right, this was an oversight on my part. I changed the ♥4 to the ♠4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellSpyder Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 ♦A pitching a spade (unless east pitches a spade), east has to pitch ♣9 because a spade will allow a spade to be established and a heart gives all of the remaining tricks away. Now a club is ducked (east pitching a spade) and the forced club return squeezes east in the majors. You can also squeeze East in the majors by cashing ♦A pitching a heart, and then playing a ♣ to the Ace. East has to pitch a spade to prevent you making 3 heart tricks, and now you can duck a spade to set up a second spade winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
