South is on lead and needs 7 more tricks. He starts with the good heart. West discards a spade and north discards a diamond, but east has to find a discard. A diamond concedes the rest of the tricks and is obviously no good.
1. If east throws a spade, play the ace of spades and a low spade away from the king, throwing a diamond and a club from dummy. East has to part with a club now. No matter what west exits, the ♠K squeezes east in the minors.
2. If east discards a club, play the ace of clubs and a low club, ducking the king. Now the clubs are established.
Become yourself.

Why you asking for my girlfriend's name? :D

Afraid I'm not up on terminology of bridge squeezes. This seems more like some kind of throw-in, though.

It looks like the hand will probably end in a (non-positional) simple squeeze to me, though you have to know what you are doing to produce the ending.

And if West exits with a club when in with the spade, it becomes a criss-cross squeeze.

stepping stone a form of triple squeeze (simple) since no compound
squeeze ever develops.

East is not squeezed in spades. To demonstrate this we can just duck a spade now before cashing the heart. There is no stepping stone, unless one thinks that every time you lose a trick you have brought off some sort of coup. :P

The play we have made appears on about page two of all squeeze books - we are simply rectifying the count.
