    Entry Shifting Squeeze - A positional squeeze depending on an entry 
        between the hands to promote winners in the squeezed suit. Of the 
        various Entry Shifting Squeeze configurations, in this example West is 
        exclusively squeezed here. South cashes the 
        SJ and West forfeits 
        a red winner (East is immaterial).   If West 
        pitches dummy's side suit (Diamond here),  dummy overtakes with 
        SQ, ruffing a Diamond return to deplete West; now dummy's Diamond and 
        Spade are winners.  If West 
        instead pitched a Heart, declarer would switch to a Heart to deplete 
        West of the suit by ruffing in dummy; returning to declarer's hand via 
        ruff; the final Heart is promoted and trump cashed.
