	Crossruff
		A crossruff is a play in contract bridge, in a suit contract, where the tricks are made by taking alternate ruffs in each hand.
		In order to use a crossruff, each player in the partnership must have shortness in a non-trump suit, accompanied with appropriate length in the opposite hand.
		The basic defense against crossruff is simple: lead trumps whenever possible, removing trumps from both declarer's hands.

	[No title]
		A crossruff may be of a lopsided variety, with ruffs available primarily, or exclusively, in declarer's own hand.
		If a crossruff is clearly indicated by the bidding, you should practically always lead a trump, even at the probable cost of a trick in the suit.
		One case of a marked crossruff is when the opponents have elected to play in the fourth suit: S N 1D 1H 1S 2C 3C Etc. High from Ax or even Kx in trumps is better than low.

		A crossruff is a play in Contract bridge, when you are in a suit contract.
		In order to use a crossruff, each player in the partnership must have length in a nontrump suit.
		Let's say the spades are split evenly at 4-4, the declarer is long in hearts and short in diamonds, and the dummy is long in diamonds and short in hearts.

		It is preferable that both players have an equal number of cards in the trump suit, otherwise a regular ruff is usually more effective, as it has the added benefit of establishing the trump suit.
		This is an extreme example of crossruff: West plays the grand slam of 7♠ despite having only 7 high card points.
		Thus, it is important to recognize the situations when a trump opening lead is called for – usually, they arise when both declarer and dummy have bid other suits but found the trump fit in the third one.

		The crossruff is an indispensable weapon in the declarer's arsenal.
		At first glance, it might seem that because of the bad breaks in both hearts and spades, declarer must lose a trump trick and three spades to go down one.
		But, thanks to the crossruff, that's not the way it turned out - and there was nothing the opponents could do about it.

		In the diagrammed position, South can apparently take the remainder of the tricks on a crossruff; but if East has a trump and no hearts, then the crossruff won't work.
		(In practice, these squeezes also sometimes occur when the opponents lead trumps to prevent an impending crossruff; imagine that East is on lead in the diagrammed position, with a trump but no heart void).
		All of the other squeezes in the criss-cross family are automatic, working against either opponent, but this type of squeeze is evidently positional, since the squeezer's play on the squeeze trick is determined only after seeing the key discard.
