Let's try to ignore my horrible play after trick 4 and pretend I was trying to setup this squeeze that I completely ruined...lol...I was guarding against that tricky 2nd K of that the opponents snuck into the deck...

What is the name of it if anyone knows?

Both opps guarding the same suit along with 1 card in their own.

A (simultaneous) double squeeze - entry in the suit guarded by both opponents, opponents' side-suit guards in the hands under the threat cards.

A simultaneous double squeeze refers to a whole class of double, triple, and compound squeezes. The specific name for the squeeze given about is the positional double squeeze, as the position in which the menaces are guarded is important. (it is also just the `normal' double squeeze).

The non positional double squeeze normally refers to this position:


where now the position of the menaces in the defenders hand is not important (provided they are split), but you have to guess which one holds which.

Alternatively what is normally called the automatic double squeeze has an extended menace, so there is no need for declarer to discard a menace.
