  • Squeeze Plays
    The Squeeze Play By James R. Klein **** The most fascinating of all advanced plays in bridge is undoubtedly the squeeze play. Since the origin of bridge, the ability to execute the squeeze play has been one of the many distinguishing marks of the expert player. What is more important is the expert's ability to recognize that a squeeze exists and therefore make all the necessary steps to prepare for it. Often during the course of play the beginner as well as the advanced player has executed a squeeze merely because it was automatic. The play of a long suit with defender holding all the essential cards will accomplish this. The purpose of the squeeze play is quite simple. It is to create an extra winner with a card lower than the defender holds by compelling the latter to discard it to protect a vital card in another suit. While the execution of the squeeze play at times may seem complex, the average player may learn a great deal by studying certain principles that are governed by it. 1. It is important to determine which of the defenders holds the vital cards. This may be accomplished in many ways; for example, by adverse bidding, by a revealing opening lead, by discards and signals but most often by the actual fall of the cards. This is particularly true when one of the defenders fails to follow suit on the first or second trick. 2. It is important after the opening lead is made to count the sure tricks before playing to the first trick.

For many years he has been planning to assemble an in-depth study of all known card play techniques and their classification. The only thing he lacked was time for the project; now, having recently retired, he has accom- plished his ambitious task. It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

Later that evening, I was chatting to the editor who had had the good fortune to work on this manuscript, and couldn’t resist asking him what the experience had been like. ‘Well,’ he replied, ‘he wasn’t a bad writer, you know.’ It has been my good fortune to undertake the bridge equivalent of his experience — to work on editing and publishing a new edition of Victor Mollo’s Bridge in the Menagerie, a book that is included in absolutely everybody’s list of the top ten books ever written on the game of bridge.

The final tally: Gromov 150, Rosenkranz 119. Gromov played with Aleksander Petrunin and Pol- ish champions Cezary Balicki and Adam Zmudzinski. Their opponents were Rosenkranz, Sam Lev, John Mohan and Polish champions Piotr Gawrys and Jacek Pszczola. The Vanderbilt was a replay of the Open Board-a- Match Teams at the 2000 Fall NABC in Birmingham where Gromov & Co. won the event – less than a board ahead of Rosenkranz, Lev, Mohan, Gawrys, Pszczola and Eddie Wold. This was the second North American champion- ship for the Russians and the third for the Poles, who won the Spingold in 1997. The Poles, both Grand Mas- ters in the World Bridge Federation, have an impres- sive record in international competition: first in the Transnational Teams in Bermuda in 2000, second in the World Team Olympiad in the Netherlands, also in Vanderbilt winners: Adam Zmudzinski, Andrew Gromov, Cezary Balicki and Aleksander Petrunin 2000, a second and a third in the Bermuda Bowl, a sec- ond in the Rosenblum Teams and a third in the World Open Pairs.
