C contract Bridge by Josephine breaking up a squeeze on Many occasions when a wily Declarer has manoeuvred into a Well planned end position squeeze throw in play of coup the defenders Are just As helpless As though they were not at the table. But this is not always the Case. Sometimes the Declarer s in genious plan requires a measure of co operation however unwilling from the defenders. That was the Case in today s hand. North dealer. Both sides vulnerable. 43642 oks just a qj108s 0 a109i 8 5 is o 43 a j10 9 t is akq4j the bidding Kortyk South West 10 2 v pass 4nt Pasi. Jbf pan. 6nt pass despite North s announcement in response to the convention four no Trump bid that he held Only the club Ace and lacked the Diamond Ace South with Honor tricks and a balanced hand figure that he should have a Good play for 12 tricks at no Trump. His reason ing was did have a go pc play for the contract but nevertheless fell Short. For one thing he found an unfortunate placement of key cards for another he ran up against a defender who was not Content to sit calmly while destruction overtook him. West opened the club Jack. The Ace won and Declarer entered his own hand by Means of the hear Jack to return a Diamond toward Dummy. The Jack lost to East s Ace and instead of automatically re turning a club or a Spade imposing sequence East did some thinking. Declarer was virtually marked with both the Ace and King of Spades. If he had a Low Spade As Well obviously West had a single ton. It would then become Neces sary for East to guard two suites Spades and diamonds since of course East could see that West could not have a Diamond stopper. This double duty which East saw would be imposed upon him strongly suggested squeeze possibilities and he therefore directed his efforts award squashing such a Contin ency. He saw that Dummy had no eventual entry except in the Dia mond suit itself. In order to squeeze South would have to take it King of hearts in the Normal running of the heart suit the great danger was to leave a Dia mond in Declarer s hand. If he had started with three obviously this Ould not be done but there was a distinct Chance that he had held Only two. On this theory East promptly returned the ten of Dia Ponds and thereby saved his own Lide. Dummy won but now de Larer was completely at the mercy if a Diamond break which of outs did not materialize. Let us consider How the play would have developed if East Hac turned either the Spade Queen or his remaining club. Declarer would win Cash All of his heart and. Club Ricks and come Down to the Posi Ion where the South hand had the k-2 of Spades the six of diamonds and the four of clubs. West1 s hand would not matter except of course or the High club. Dummy Pulc have left one Spade and the k-q-8 of diamonds. East in having to re Duce to four cards would be help Ess. He would have to hold three diamonds to Stop Dummy s suit therefore could keep Only one Spade the squeeze would be inexorable. By taking out the vital Diamond entry to Dummy East had saved he Day.
