Transferring the menace[edit]

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)[reply]

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==

etc. Duja 17:55, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Positional[edit]

The criss cross squeeze is not positional. It can affect RHO or LHO - you just need to work out wht they have kept... Cambion 12:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right. The confusion originated from Ye Old Editors who (I think) mistook positional vs. automatic classification into two classifications (which are not commonly used). I'll change the articles. Duja 13:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Example hand[edit]

A little "didactic" observation. By changing the spade holdings in the split two-card threat example, I think the point is made a little less clearly than it could have been made. To emphasize the relevant differences with the previous type, why not give West KQ again, North Ax, and South Jx? GdB (talk) 17:18, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(My editing antics of today come down to replacing a "West" by an "East" in the second part of the Automatic squeezes section.) GdB (talk) 09:29, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
