Triple Squeeze
A triple squeeze is a squeeze against one player, in three suits; a more explicit definition is "three simple squeezes against the same player." It is often equated with "progressive squeeze" (also termed a "repeating squeeze"), but progressive squeezes are a subset of triple squeezes. A progressive squeeze is a triple squeeze that, depending both on entries and on positional factors, may result in a subsequent, simple, two-suit squeeze that takes place against the opponent who has just been triple squeezed. Confusing the issue is that some triple squeezes can become progressive squeezes through misdefense. Example: Triple squeeze with potential misdefense Here is an example of a triple squeeze that should not become progressive: South, pushed to 5 by the nonvulnerable opponents, ruffs the second diamond lead and runs hearts to reach this position: South cannot be prevented from winning six more tricks, and if West isn't careful South will win all seven. When South leads hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Progressive Squeeze
The progressive squeeze (also termed a "repeating squeeze") is a contract bridge squeeze that gains two tricks by squeezing one and the same player twice, hence the name. A progressive squeezes is a subset of triple squeezes that, depending both on entries and on positional factors, may result in a subsequent, simple, two-suit squeeze that takes place against the opponent who has just been triple squeezed. Confusing the issue is that some triple squeezes can become progressive squeezes through misdefense.

Simple Squeeze
The simple squeeze is the most basic form of a squeeze in contract bridge. When declarer plays a winner in one suit (the '' squeeze card''), an opponent is forced to discard a stopper in one of declarer's two threat suits. The simple squeeze takes place against one opponent only and gains one trick only. That opponent must hold the defense's only stoppers in declarer's two threat suits. The simple squeeze requires that declarer has rectified the count: declarer must have already lost as many tricks as he can afford, and can win all but one of the remaining tricks with top cards. Positional squeezes, described next, also require that the defense's stoppers be located favorably for declarer. Other requirements are also discussed in this article. Positional squeezes In Example 1, when the A is cashed, West is squeezed in the major suits. West must discard before North plays. If West discards a spade, dummy discards the K and declarer then wins the AJ. If West discards the A, dummy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
