Deal 64   7NT OL: ♥10	♠ A Q 5 ♥ K J 4 ♦ K Q 6 3 ♣ K 3 2		Winner List: ♠ = 3 : ♥ = 3 : ♦ = 3 : ♣ = 3 :: Total = 12 There are two chances for your thirteenth winner, your fourth ♣ or dummy's fourth ♦. Some players will assume that means one of those two suits will have to split 3-3, so they will immediately test one, then the other. In fact there is another possibility for success - even if neither suit is 3-3 it may be that the same defender holds 4 cards in both suits. In this case that defender can be squeezed. BUT, you don't play the ♣s and ♦s first, you play the other two suits. Win the first ♥, then play two more ♥s and all three ♠ winners. That will be 6 tricks played, and each defender will be down to 7 cards left in their hand. If one of them happened to start with 4 ♣s and 4 ♦s he will have to discard from one of the holdings and you will be able to win your fourth card in that suit. Click NEXT  for the full deal.

Deal 64   7NT OL: ♥10	♠ A Q 5 ♥ K J 4 ♦ K Q 6 3 ♣ K 3 2		Although neither minor suit splits 3-3 it happens that East holds the guard in both suits. When you play your sixth Major suit winner East is squeezed and must discard from one of his 4-card holdings. This is an Automatic Squeeze, which just means you don't have to do any preparatory work. All you have to do is play off all your non-threat winners before you play the squeezing suits. Deal 65
