Talk:Squeeze play (bridge)

This page should be linked from somewhere on the main Bridge page.

There should be a page for play of the hand, with squeezes as a specialty.

Hi all. I would like to add two thaughts. It is great fun to write this and I appreciate all the help and ideas. But I do have the feeling that this might as well not belong into wikipedia. I think that Andre Engles' point is crucial

It still is almost ununderstandably for non bridge players.

Yes I intended to write this for Bridge Players. On the other hand if a non mathematicien looks something up about Fourier Transformation or Gaulois fields is he supposed to understand the stuff??? But I will defenitely try to work more on the basic stuff

Cheers

I agree with the above comment.

I think that the problem is that the page starts with a discussion of the Laws, which is one of the last things a beginner needs to know. Most of the expert-level stuff should be moved to a separate page.

Transferring the menace

We reckon the following should go in here somewhere:

Should someone (eg me) put in transferring the menace in here? It comes up to set up a simple positional squeeze so I reckon it should go here but I'm concerned it will complicate things. bwt transferring the menace is something like leading the Q from QT (dummy) opposite Ax if you are sure RHO has the K and need to put LHO under pressure (you hope he has the J). Obviously if RHO doesn't cover you let it run. Cambion 15:18, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

If not in a separate article, I'd say that it belongs to Squeeze play (bridge). Menace transfer is a common motive for all types of squeezes (much like count rectification). If you have time (I don't), you could append something like the following to Squeeze play (bridge):

Squeeze preparation

 ===Rectifying the count===
 ===Preserving entries===
 ===Menace transfer==

Article title

I'm not keen on putting this to WP:RM, but ain't the more common and simpler name just "Squeeze" rather than "Squeeze play"? I don't recall ever having heard about it with "play" qualifier attached (or extremely rarely). I think this should be moved to Squeeze (bridge) (and will do it in few days unless anyone objects).

Squeeze play seems a reasonable title to me. 'Squeeze' imo is more specific (eg. I executed a squeeze). 'Squeeze play' is to me a more general description encompassing the techniques and viriants of individual squeezes - in short a better name for the article. ;-) Cambion 13:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC) BTW this artcile has come along nicely, gj guys :-) I'd never even heard of a clash squeeze / vice squeeze...
