This is a contract I suspect you aren't going to make unless it's doubled. I played in 3♠, we lost a bunch because team mates doubled 4♠ and it made, I don't know the auction at their table.

---

Follow the play through and observe the odd squeeze N is subjected to if S leads a club and W ruffs with the K, it's a kind of red suit ruffing squeeze with the added wrinkle that underruffing is also fatal. In practice with nothing to guide me and only in 3♠ I ruffed with the J and was overruffed so only emerged with 9 tricks.

That's a nice squeeze. I think - please correct me if I'm wrong - it's a variant of a cross ruffing squeeze with trumps outstanding.

Triple cross ruffing squeeze, anyone?

It's not really a ruffing squeeze involving both reds in that what it really does is prevents a heart discard or you ruff them out, a diamond discard more allows you to cross ruff the hand because W has to follow to the 4th heart.

It's just an odd position.

What was the auction at your table?
Did South get to mention her clubs?

2♠-P-3♠ and nobody bid but they led ♣J anyway, 2♠ could have been 4 of them and a zero count.

It seems related to a Backwash Squeeze too- quite interesting and reinforces the idea Not to double and give away too much info. +100 or _50 are about the same without a huge trump stack. But it would be informative if we had the actual auction.

why can I not re- play the whole hand. It stops at 2-2

It won't allow me to replay the whole hand.

Because I stopped it at the critical point, from that point, S plays a top club and W ruffs with the K, just look at what this does to N. Apparently it won't allow you to put part of a trick into diagrams

As dsLawsd points out, CyberYeti's board is a variant of the
beautiful backwash squeeze
On the left, a simplified version, with South declarer.
Defenders start with 3 rounds of ♣s.
GIB verifies that, to succeed, declarer must ruff with ♠A.

Sir it is a backwash squeeze.I had posted a similar looking deal where an opponent got squeezed in three suits one of which was the trump suit itself.Therein it was a three card ending.

Mine is slightly different in that you can apparently succeed by discarding on the third club due to the ♠98 not being with the Q, but yes this is the form if you ruff high

AFAIR, Géza Ottlik discovered the backwash squeeze

Something like this?
With ♠s trump. South ruffs his ♣2 with North's ♠K?

This one is already known as Seres squeeze (by Tim Seres) where two menaces are in unfavoureble position(=1sf, 1sf or controlled in the lower hand) with an high trump (in both hands) and also the trump is squeezed!(Lovera)
