The progressive squeeze (also termed a "repeating squeeze") is: a contract bridge squeeze that gains two tricks by squeezing one and the: same player twice, hence the——name. A progressive squeezes is a subset of triple squeezes that, depending both on entries and "on positional factors," may result in a subsequent, "simple," two-suit squeeze that takes place against the "opponent who has just been triple squeezed." Confusing the issue is that some triple squeezes can become progressive squeezes through misdefense.

Examples※

The first diagram shows a basic example:

When the ace of clubs is cashed East is squeezed and has to discard one of his red aces, the established king is cashed (this is the progressive squeeze card) and East is squeezed for another trick.
