Very clear and excellent video. On the last hand I would have drawn trumps and run the 10c getting a spade pitch on the jc as East has to lead spades into the king.
14:40 is really good advice - if you are a beginner player and are still struggling with squeezes - count your tricks and then lose the amount of tricks early except one - in other words if you think you can make 9 tricks - lose 3 tricks early on. Now even if you don't know how to play a squeeze you might end up squeezing the opposition without knowing what you are doing...I'm going to call this the accidental squeeze!
Thank you for sharing a helpful squeeze lesson. I have learned a lot from this video. Four requirements for (most) squeeze to work 1. (at least) one of the opponents has to guard 2 suits (or more) = winners are all guarded by the same person 2. rectify the count = don't leave the opponent an escape card 3. an entry to your extra winner by squeeze 4. sometimes position matters
Absolutely amazing Steve!!! My understanding of squeezes is much better now! Before I kept falling into the trap where they had an option because they can pitch the right card after me.
There is an old book called, from memory 'the blue rule' where BLUE stands for busy loser under entry. That's what I read the day before I executed 2 squeezes on the same day for the first time. A great book on squeezes.
I love it. I have trouble visualizing the ops. hands I would like develop knowledge on how to make a defensive plan and visualize what partner needs to defeat a contract. Also how to recognize when partner could be squeezed or end played
Thanks for the video. I would find a video on endplays very useful.

Perfect! Thanks so much!
Thanks Steve for a well-explained introduction to this previously mysterious process
Really good. Simple, orderly explanation. Use of the examples is very useful. Well done.

Well organized, well spoken and well explained! Thank you. More simple squeezes then maybe double ones please!
Excellent presentation. Very clear and thorough explanation. Thank you Steve. Keep ‘em comin!!
This is very helpful. I could use more on squeeze plays. Not necessarily more complicated ones yet!

Really useful thanks. More on squeezes would be great!
Good explanation on squeezes.
I would like an video on playing 4:3 fits. Always screw those up.
What a nice and simple and uncomplicated explanation! Thank you!!

Excellent
Thanks. This will improve my squeezes!!
thank you great explaination
For further study there's nothing better than Clyde Love's "Bridge Squeezes Complete". It takes a bit of study, but it's well worth it.
