Slams with Minimal Trump Holdings
Mystery #1 is a group of related questions extending some proposed in The Bridge Journal in 1964. An answer to any of these questions should include a deal that illustrates the named holding.
Question 1A. If the East-West cards may be arranged as desired and play is double-dummy, what is the weakest trump holding with which North-South can make a grand slam?
Question 1B. Same as Question 1A, but East-West are denied a trump as the opening lead.
Question 1C. If the East-West cards may be arranged as desired and play is double-dummy, what is the weakest trump holding with which North-South can make a small slam?
Question 1D. Same as Question 1C, but East-West are denied a trump as the opening lead.
An answer to 1D was given by Terence Reese in Play Bridge With Reese. We conceal it here to allow you the pleasure of finding it for yourself if you are so inclined. Question 1C was posed, but not answered, in 1964.
