PFormaini Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Here is this week's challenge. (Those of you who communicate with me via e-mail will receive feedback more quickly than those who post here.) Construct a full deal that satisfies both of the following conditions simultaneously: 1. EAST-WEST are cold for 7♥ AND 7♠ - played by either player - and cold against any lead or defense. AND 2. NORTH-SOUTH are cold for 3NT - played by either player - and cold against any lead or defense. I will check in every 7-8 hours to see how those who submit solutions online do. (And ignore all non-solution posts). And Yes, it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 we want a price money to try the puzzle! pavlicek has a hand where the 4 players are cold for 3NT, that was really fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 [hv=n=s2h2d32cakqjt9876&w=sqjt987hqjt9876dc&e=sakhakdkqjt987c43&s=s6543h543da654c52]399|300|[/hv] EW cold for 7H/7S, while EW can only take their major AKs before giving up the lead, at which point NS can take the rest. Heck we can extend this slightly, here's a hand where NS make 5NT while EW are cold for grand in both majors. [hv=n=s2h2d32cakqjt9876&w=sqjt987hqjt9876dc&e=sakhakdkqjt987c43&s=s6543h543da654c52]399|300|[/hv] Same as before (in 7♥ lucky trumps break 3-3), while in NT for NS, East can do no more than to cash both aces. A minor lead at any point would give NS all the remaining tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
