In contract bridge, the criss-cross squeeze is a variant of the simple squeeze in which both menaces are blocked.^[1] However, the blocking cards provide the necessary communication between hands after the squeeze has been effected. Unblocking in the correct order allows the squeezing player to cash the newly created winner; but this requires an exact count of the hand – or a correct guess.
