Scoring: IMP+BAM

N - E - S - W
ps -ps -1♦ -ps
1♠ -ps -1NT -ps
2♦ -ps -ps -ps


Normally any kind of squeeze at a low level contract can be avoided, this is no exception, but there are no gross mistakes involved and all the play had some logic.

Lead was ♥J, overtaken by the ♥K for another ♥ return.

Next was a ♠ to the 10 and ♠K, West scaped with ♣A+♣.

A ♦ to the 8 and Ace and third club.

another ♦ and dummy is allowed to win ♦9.

♠A leaving to this position with south to lead, 4 tricks for the defence.

Scoring: IMP+BAM

N - E - S - W
ps -ps -1♦ -ps
1♠ -ps -1NT -ps
2♦ -ps -ps -ps


Now the play of the ♥Q gives West no answer, I would rather call this a trump coup or promotion rather than a squeeze, but one must admit that the contract is doomed if ♠Q is on East's hand after a low ♠ discard from west.

I am confused, why can't WEST throw a club? You play a spade from dummy, Now if you lead a second heart, West throws his spade, and will win either two diamonds or a diamond and his partner gets a heart. Or, if you lead a trump after the heart Queen wins, he wins the king of diamonds and returns the diamond jack, and will get the spade Queen at the end. Now, if you had the heart Q9 instead of Q8....

In fact this is what happened at the table, LHO discarded his ♣, I RUFFED it, ruffed a ♠ i ahnd, and played last ♥ to score ♦Q 'em passant' or 'al paso', dunno english translation (nor french spelling actually).
