In contract bridge, an Automatic squeeze is a squeeze which can be executed automatically that means without guesswork. The cards that have to be played and the order in which they are played can always be determined. In other words, if the squeeze is on, it can always be executed successfully. This is in contrast to a non-automatic squeeze in which an extra trick can be gained too, but only if the discards of the opponents are correctly guessed. A good example of an automatic squeeze is the simple squeeze an example of a non-automatic squeeze would be the criss-cross squeeze.
