  Squeeze play (bridge) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Squeeze play (or simply squeeze) is a play in contract bridge that often occurs late in the game and involves the play of a card (often, but not necessarily, a winner) which forces an opponent to discard a vital card from his hand, thus giving up a trick (or two in some cases).
Although the squeeze was already discovered and described in whist, its use was best described and perfected in contract bridge.
In squeezes without count, the count is not rectified; often, it involves a throw-in in the end position (strongly related with non-material) squeezes.

 Strip squeeze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Major Tenace Strip
This is the second most common squeeze position (after the automatic simple squeeze), largely because of the extreme flexibility of its requirements.
If the "idle" card is a winner in the fourth suit, then the squeeze is called a surplus winner squeeze; if it is a loser, with the other opponent holding one or more master cards in the suit, it is a link squeeze, and properly belongs with the communication squeezes.
The squeeze endplay works equally well in positions with more losers, unless the opponent being squeezed has an exit card, either in the throw-in suit or in the fourth suit.

Great care must be given to handling and transporting slit strip to avoid scraping or bumping the edges as edge damage is a likely cause of weld defects.

 Quik Strip Wire Stripper - webBikeWorld
The mini-sized Quik Strip's box claims that the smaller unit is designed for wire diameters from 0.2mm (.007") to 3mm (.118").
So in effect, the smaller Quik Strip is theoretically capable of stripping any of the wires commonly found on a motorcycle, that is, from 12 to 20 gauge.
I guess the bottom line is this: I wish the Quik Strip wire strippers were made entirely from metal; I think this would eliminate some of the flex, which might help them work better, and I'm not confident that they will last very long, especially under and type of severe usage.

 Post-Mortem | Barry Rigal
By and large the squeeze without the count, that is to say where a trick still has to be lost, forms some of the trickiest of positions.
At this point, on the lead of the penultimate trump, West must bare his CK, and declarer leads to the CA and ruffs a heart, reducing West down to three spades; now a low spade from hand endplays West at trick twelve.
Of course if West keeps two hearts in the five-card ending, a club to the CA squeezes him out of his penultimate heart or out of a spade trick.

A value of 0% ("zero tolerance") will cause columns to be deleted if they contain only a single gap, (often called "gap stripping") while a value of 100% will delete only columns that are entirely gaps ("gap squeezing).
If you select the "Show deleted columns" box, your output will include the first sequence in your alignment with marks showing columns that were deleted in the stripped alignment that follows.
Finally, if the sequences in your alignment are codon-aligned nucleotides, you can choose to remove columns in groups of three if any one of the three columns that comprise the codon exceeds the gap-tolerance value.
