(1♠)-Pass-(3♠)-4♦
(4♠)-5♦-All Pass
 
3♠ is 4 card ♠ and 0 to 6 pts.
LHO lead ♥A followed by a small ♠.
South now plays ♦K to discover the bad ♦ break.
Should South make his contract here?
....Hope you like this hand.

Not sure if there is a balancing squeeze, but your line I think it does not, 2 spades and 1 club are free to discard on 3 rounds of trumps. Had he got 4th heart as well maybe it would work

He had to discard on the fourth round of hearts too. This is wclass's ending, with ♦Q led from hand:

... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I was sitting West and declarer did go minus 1 here.
I felt at the table that an entry-shifting trump squeeze should have been possible, but I didn't really know how at that time.
Maybe I will never again recognize - or 'feel' - an entry-shifting trump squeeze at the table, therefor I posted this hand.
...For an expert it should even be possible to play the hand like this and the entry-shifting trump squeeze is the best chance to make the contract?

An entry-shifting squeeze is the coolest type of squeeze I know of that I have never managed to find at the table. :P I once had a smother play but it took misdefense on approximately every other trick to achieve, so that probably shouldn't count either.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Me neither. Although I may have had one but didn't recognize it.

My favorite is a jettison squeeze that reduced my winner count but straightened up the entries for a triple.

I found one once, but the ace of trumps was on the wrong hand :)
