This hand came up yesterday in actual play.
North: Kxx , K , Kxxxx , QJxx
South: Axx , AQJxx , AQx , Ax
With 60 part-score South opens 1NT; North forgets part-score and bids 3NT; South bids 6NT!
Suppose JD is led. Assume you duck QC around to West's KC early in play. Six is cold if Hearts are 4-3 or Diamonds 3-2 so assume both suits break badly.
There are several squeeze possibilities:
(a) Can make if West guards diamonds and hearts
(b) Can make if West guards diamonds and has 4+ clubs
(c) Can make if West guards diamonds and has 5+ spades
(d) Double squeeze operates in spades if West guards diamonds and East hearts
(e) Other squeezes I've overlooked?
How do you maximize your chances?
