A nice vice

I have not a clue what this type of squeeze is called but
ultimately it is an entry shifting guard squeeze and
actually interesting looking (though finding this at a bridge
table is probably a never never land idea:)))))))))) it is
quite cute that declarer has to decide to play the 6 or the 2
under the 2nd spade.

What a wonderful position! Took me a while to spot how this works.

South leads a small spade.

The main line is: West plays ♠AKx. East cannot unguard a minor, otherwise South will unblock the ♠6 and the third spade is taken in North to cash the unguarded minor winner. So East's initial plan is to discard both his hearts. The catch then is that North must unblock both ♠QJ (and South must keep the six), since otherwise he is forced to win the 3rd spade and East takes the last two tricks with the minor-suit fours.

Of course, unblocking the spade QJ needs to work every time, and does: if West plays ♠AK, ♥(A)x then South wins HK and a small slightly-bigger spade. If West plays ♠A, ♥(A)x then South just takes the K and exits in spades, keeping all spades in North. If West ducks, North wins the SQ and continues with J to throw West in.

Questo schema però dovrebbe essere una compressione tricolore (senza comunicazioni nei colori sottoposti a compressione di tipo preliminare -three suit three losers -) e le necessarie comunicazioni avvengono nel colore della carta comprimente ; inoltre il vice squeeze (anche a tre colori) e' a due perdenti e qui a cuori manca la carta di comunicazione.(Lovera)

Exactly. The assembly instructions come with an allen wrench, but it isn't clear whether I put the sides or the shelves on first.
