Guard squeeze
Guard squeeze is a type of squeeze in contract bridge where a player is squeezed out of a card which prevents his partner from being finessed. The squeeze operates in three suits, where the squeezee protects the menaces in two suits, but cannot help his partner anymore in the third suit after the squeeze is executed.
The following example shows a guard squeeze:
Template:BridgeHandSouth plays the ♠2 and West must keep all his red cards to protect menaces of ♥5 and ♦Q in the dummy, thus he must discard the jack of clubs. Now, the declarer plays a heart to the ling and can finesse the East's queen of clubs.
