Clash Squeeze - A triple squeeze on one opponent, where one of the
cards held by the opponent is above their Right Hand Opponent. This
illustrates the typical holding pattern:
In positions similar to these, defenders are normally entitle to one trick
when West leads the suit. However, when a defender is squeezed in the
suit (West on the first hand, East on the second), the declarer wins all
tricks.
