Entry Shifting Squeeze - A positional squeeze depending on an entry
between the hands to promote winners in the squeezed suit.
Of the
various Entry Shifting Squeeze configurations, in this example West is
exclusively squeezed here. South cashes the
SJ and West forfeits
a red winner (East is immaterial).
If West
pitches dummy's side suit (Diamond here), dummy overtakes with
SQ, ruffing a Diamond return to deplete West; now dummy's Diamond and
Spade are winners.
If West
instead pitched a Heart, declarer would switch to a Heart to deplete
West of the suit by ruffing in dummy; returning to declarer's hand via
ruff; the final Heart is promoted and trump cashed.
