Criss Cross Squeeze
A Simple Squeeze in which the threat suits are split between the 2 hands, and the entry for each threat lies in the other threat suit:
A2
Q2
--
K3
K3
--
Q4
A
2
In this position South leads the good
2 and discards the
2 from dummy. East is squeezed. If he pitches a spade South plays a spade to the Ace and uses the
A as an entry for the
Queen. If East pitches a heart instead, South cashes the
A and uses the
A as an entry for the
Queen.
To learn more about squeezes refer to Clyde Love's classic Bridge Squeezes Complete , now available in a fully interactive computer program.
