Hi Dear Mr Wolff
Nice that the column is back ( thanks to lain for all his efforts). Another instructive hand . This is the famous Knockout squeeze as described by Kelsey and Ottlik. Normally knockout squeeze involves plain suits. But here, it involves trump suit. Delightful indeed
Incidentally if RHO gets squeezed, it becomes backwash squeeze to the best of my knowledge
Regards

Hi AV,

First, it is always great to hear from you and now we all know about your mastery of the Knockout squeeze (Ottlik) and therefore your A V will be elongated to ACTING VOCIFEROUSLY to further
popularize your bridge genius.

Knowing the background with BRIDGE LORE becomes valuable to grasp, at least for players like you, who, no doubt, totally love our game.

Hi Iain,

I’ve been lax in keeping up recently, likely showing my age, and first, I’ll further thank Mr. Fix It, you,
for what you always do, make life better for all around you (your wife may now be throwing all of us a wink).

Hopefully, the popularity of our game, as time goes by, will be somewhat rejuvenated, and if we are fortunately able to see and feel it so doing, this site
will lead the cheers.
