Grand Slam Miracle

Good show. You've actually made this kind of play look easy in that, "If it's your only shot, you've got to play for it."

For those that have knowledge of simple squeezes double squeezes are not hard to visualize at all. The thing to do is to understand that all double squeezed consist of two simple squeeze's. So on this hand, visualize a Heart/Spade positional squeeze against West, and a Clubs/Heart automatic squeeze against east. And you'll see it works, just make sure all conditions for both simple squeezes are fulfilled.

Nice hand, I really enjoy these videos, thanks for uploading them.

Gerber is a convention that I refuse to play. I can't tell you how many times my teammates have brought back a huge loss because of a Gerber disaster. In my style, North would commit the hand to slam by bidding 5NT. South would bid 7 Clubs, and North would convert to 7NT. To ask for controls, North would first establish a trump suit and follow up with 4NT In the terminology of Clyde Love's Bridge Squeezes Complete, this is a type R double squeeze. The threat against both defenders, B, sits opposite the squeeze card.

After trick 6 (at 5:25 in the video) you say you know W has the Spade ten. How?

[@armantookmanian1938]

Never mind ... the Spae nine finesse working told you that W holds the ten.

If you do cash the AH, west can see the double coming and pitch the JH. If you cash both hearts in the position you gave you lose transportation. So I’m not sure not cashing the AH then was a mistake

[@AnaIvanovic4ever]

You can not cash both A and K of H, but the squeeze works the same if you obly cash one top honor, the defence can not do anything about it even if they see it coming.

[@heironymousnevs]

@@AnaIvanovic4ever if you cash both the AK hearts you lose the entry to dummy for the squeeze to operate.

[@heironymousnevs]

@@AnaIvanovic4ever pitching the JH under the Ah gives declarer the wrong option of playing for stiff QJ

[@dustinstout1798]

@@heironymousnevs declarer can still play it in the same manner then rely on stiff QJ in the end game if needed. I believe the squeeze option still operates.

[@goldfarbdj]

I don't think it was any kind of "special" squeeze: it was just your garden variety double squeeze. In particular, it wasn't non-simultaneous: both opps got squeezed on the same trick.

[@AnaIvanovic4ever]

I guess it depends on your skill level how "special" it is, for me every time I manage even a simple squeeze I find it special :)

[@wolpertbridge]

Agree, it was a basic double squeeze. I realized it after but I record these videos in one take with no editing.

Clever , but mad bidding ! In England we go : 1C-1S-1NT(15-17)- 6NT-End.
