The following hand had me smiling and shaking my head for a full minute after I read it.

Can you figure out the line?
Here is his explanation: first test the spades by cashing AKQ.
If the spades break 3-3, then the marked club finesse provides the thirteenth trick.
If west has the long spades, then cash all the red suit winners, squeezing him in the black suits for the thirteenth trick.
If east has the long spades, then cash the king of clubs and the diamond winners, arriving at this position:

From reading Kelsey I can put a name to this squeeze: it is a positional double squeeze in the inverted form (yeah yeah I know all the theory :P).
Quite a claim! It would probably have been faster to just play the hand. But you must admit it makes for a highly entertaining read.
Cheers,
SP.
