This is the first book in a series on Bridge Squeezes and introduces the subject and is aimed at experienced players who are ready to improve their playing ability.  The format for each position is a diagram showing the cards remaining and how the position is played.  There are then examples taken from actual play, (drawn from several sources including the author’s own experience, books and newspaper articles), showing how the diagrammed position was reached and the preparation needed to achieve it.  The key requirements for a squeeze are explained in simple terms and each type of threat encountered is described and named.  The importance of the five fundamental attributes and their application in order to be able to execute a simple squeeze are developed.  Advice on how to defend against a squeeze is also given.

Apart from the five simple squeeze positions the book also covers some related positions and introduces the show-up (count) squeeze and the submarine squeeze.

The author has been fascinated by squeezes and his research in this area covers some unique findings.  He has also played with some of the world’s best players over the last forty years
