This is probably the most volatile part of any squash match.
Firstly what is a let; you replay the point.
What is a stroke; if you served then you win the point, if receiving you win the right to serve.
An easy rule of thumb to use in determining whether a let or stroke should be awarded is; if your opponent hits the ball back within close proximity to himself ( or herself, lets not get sexist )and prevents you from hitting the ball, then I would award a stroke. If you do not have direct acces to the ball, but it is some distance away, and your opponent has tried to get out of the way, the I would award a let.
If you are playing a cheater, as is the case for me with my long time playing partner, then to keep it simple we only play lets, because he is so old and slow he deliberately gets in my way to stop me playing a winning shot.
So to keep the peace we only play lets.
