Throw-in Squeeze - The tactic of allowing an opponent to gain the
lead, thereby squeezing the leader into forfeiting one or more tricks.
South needs one trick but
unfortunately cannot get to dummy's stranded HQ. South
plays the SJ,
throwing East in the lead.
But first West must discard, choosing
the HJ, dummy
following with the stranded
DQ. East returns with the
C10,
covered by
CJ,
CQ,
C6. Finally,
North's C9 is
promoted.
