Here is an interesting hand from a recent sectional:

Scoring: IMP


The contract was 3NT by south. A low diamond was lead, riding to south's jack. South then continued with a club to the ace and the club jack, taken by east's king (perhaps not best). East played another diamond to south's ace. Here is the position:

Scoring: IMP


South now cashes three clubs. If west pitches two diamonds then it is easy to make by leading a spade up to the king. If west pitches one card from each suit, then declarer pitches dummy's spade jack and starts the hearts, forcing west to either take the heart ace early (allowing south to overtake the third heart and cash the seven) or delay to the third round and endplay himself in diamonds. If west pitches two hearts and a spade, then dummy bares the spade king and declarer attacks hearts, enabling himself to overtake the third heart and cash the making trick. If west pitches two hearts and a diamond, then declarer can make by pitching a heart from dummy and leading up to the spade king, then attacking hearts.

What do you call this squeeze?

Complicated?

Seems like you could probably categorize the squeeze more readily if you focus on the very last pitch?

Squeeze without the count.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

A non-material trippel squeeze.
Non-material because west is not forced to discard tricks but crucial flexibility. Trippel because it happens to him in three suits at a time. :)

Just a guess.
