A forcing defense in contract bridge aims to force declarer to repeatedly ruff the defenders' leads. If this can be done often enough, declarer eventually runs out of trumps and may lose control of the hand. A forcing defense is therefore applicable only to contracts played in a trump suit.
For example, 5-3 and 4-4 are among the most common trump distributions on the declarer and dummy's hands. In cases, if an opponent shows out on the second trump round, then 5-3-1 or 4-4-1 is known, and the pattern 5-3-4-1 or 4-4-4-1 comes up automatically, and the other defender is known to have begun with four.

Hearts are the "vice suit", and the second menace is the declarer's ♦ 8. This is a position akin to automatic simple squeeze.When South leads the high ♠ 5, West must not discard the ♦ 10; when he parts with a heart honor, declarer leads the heart and East must cede the last trick to dummy's heart ten.
