7NT Problem

Could a Yarborough win 13 tricks in notrump? Yes, with cooperation. Suppose South holds ♠ 9-8-7-6 ♥ 9-8-7-6 ♦ 9-8-7-6 ♣ 5, and West leads low from nine spades and ducks repeatedly; red suits lie similarly with N-E (or the honors could be discarded); and the 5 fetches the two, three, four! Unreal, but the issue is not what would happen in practice; only what is possible via legal plays. A puzzle for you:

What is the weakest hand that could win 13 tricks in notrump?

  1. Ise küsin, ise vastan. Sain skooriks 54. Aga tõestust, et vähemaga ei saa, mul ei ole.

  2. kas sa selle 54 said nii, et kõik tihid tulid südi kätte???? Kui jah, siis kõva sõna arvestades, et min summa üldse on 41.

  3. 5432-432-432-432 on jah 41, aga sellega lehega pole võimalik kõiki tihisid võtta. 54 on jah sellise lehe skoor, millega ka kõik tihid kätte saaks.
