Compound Trump Guard Squeeze - This is a variation of the Compound
Guard Squeeze, operating when opponents must discard on declarer's
trump. Similarly, the strategy is a triple suited squeeze, where
two suits are stopped by both opponents. While the defenders
attempt to cooperatively each guard one suit, the declarer discards
holding in the suit retained over the opponent (positionally, the Right
Hand Opponent). Finally, declarer cashes tricks that squeeze the other
opponent in the remaining retained suits.
Declarer
needs the remaining tricks, with an apparent loser and no chance to
finesse or promotion. On trick one, declarer leads trump
SK. East is squeezed
and must unprotect a minor - the
D8 here. On the
second trump, West
cooperatively unprotect the other suit playing
C9.
Dummy's should follow East's prior discard, pitching
D6. Now cashing DK
(East's empty suit), East is squeezed to play the
H2. Finally, declarer
ruffs a Heart, Dummy's
remaining Club and Hearts are winners.
