    Throw-in Squeeze - The tactic of allowing an opponent to gain the 
    lead, thereby squeezing the leader into forfeiting one or more tricks. South needs one trick but 
        unfortunately cannot get to dummy's stranded HQ.  South 
        plays the SJ, 
        throwing East in the lead.    But first West must discard, choosing 
        the HJ, dummy 
        following with the stranded 
        DQ.  East returns with the 
        C10, 
        covered by 
        CJ,  
        CQ,  
        C6.  Finally, 
        North's C9 is 
        promoted.
