W. ST. AGATHA Last week we showed how a six heart contract was made with the following hand: S:AKQ H:K1093 . O:K92 SV D:A106543 C:K1082 After a spade lead from West the declarer brought the hand to the following squeeze position: North: D:9, C:A95 East: $:109, C:74 South: H:5, C:QJ5 West: D:10, C:K108 The East hand was naturally holding two spades and not diamonds as was printed by mistake last week. There are safer lines of play in case the contract is only four or five hearts, the safest one probably being a diamond pitch on the third spade, after trumps have been drawn. Then one more round of trumps ending in the declarer‘s hand, diamond finesse, later King of diamonds and diamond ruff or another round of trumps to enter South‘s hand. A club finesse follows and if it works and the ten of clubs drops, declarer makes 12 tricks. But in our hand the ten of clubs does not drop.

He played the club finesse immediâ€" ately after drawing trumps. It was easy to bring the hand to the same kind of squeeze position as described above, had West not covered South‘s honor. However, "face card covers face card" and the crucial entry (Ace of clubs) was gone. In spite of this, declarer still succeeded by bringing the hand to a different squeeze position. D:10 When the Ace of spades is played West is squeezed. This line of play is safe against losing four hearts contract, but has a much lower chance for making five hearts. In case the diamond finesse is off, it is possible to lose a club and two diamonds because you can‘t pitch dummy‘s diamond. It also has a slightly lesser chance for making six hearts in comparison to the squeeze introâ€" duced at the beginning. This squeeze does not work if East originally holds the seven or eight of clubs protected twice.
