Squeeze Defense

 

Executing a squeeze generally requires (a) communications between Declarer and Dummy, and (b) the correct loser count.  It follows that the defense's best weapons for disrupting an impending squeeze are to attack Declarer's communications and to refrain from taking winners too early in the play.  Here are some examples.  We'll explain how Declarer wraps up an extra trick via a squeeze, and give the reader a chance to work out how the defense might have broken up that squeeze.
