There are a multitude of solutions, of which this is one. One such variation is if one of them keeps the clubs, not both releasing them as you showed. Even with your example the squeeze is not straightforward. But trump squeezes and compound squeezes rarely are. Try again. /* ---------- */ Sorry for the unfinished response went out to the net. I haven't mastered the notesfile yet. It seems there is about two day delay of the news from your site to my site. By now, you should already see my finished solution. Anyway, it was an interesting problem. --Ching-Chao Liu HP Portable Computer Division Corvallis, Oregon
