    Introduction to Squeezes for the Intermediate Player by Ed Rawlinson

    Introduction to Squeezes for the Intermediate Player by Ed Rawlinson This tutorial is intended to provide a basic introduction to squeezes for the intermediate player. There are many types of squeezes. While some are quite difficult to recognize, others are more achievable for intermediate players. In addition, there are certain basic techniques to follow in implementing squeezes which are easy to learn and which may allow a squeeze to be executed even when declarer hasn’t recognized the squeeze in advance. This introduction will only cover the “simple squeeze”. More complex squeezes are beyond the scope of this tutorial. Learners interested in such techniques should obtain a good book on squeezes (e. g., Bridge Squeezes Complete, by Clyde E. Love). A squeeze occurs when a defender must stop (or guard) two suits. The squeeze forces the defender to give up his stop in one of the suits. The four primary requirements for a squeeze to work are: Requirement Comment B One defender must be Busy In most cases, you have no control trying to protect two suits over this. It depends on the lay of (the threat suits). the cards. L You must reach a point in the play If you are not at this point, you must when you have only one Loser left.

U At least one of your “threat cards” A “threat card” is a loser (or at least must be in the “Upper hand”, i.e., an uncertain winner) which you hope behind the opponent being squeezed.
