What is the highest score in Bridge? The world record has been broken
on the following deal - and this record will never be reached again
(unless the World Bridge Federation decides to change the
points system!). Many awkward scores were achieved on this board
(including 7♣ redoubled by South and 7♥ doubled by
West) but nothing came close to what has happened at "our"
table:
The bidding:
* Finally, I get to play the hand!
** This hand is mine!
*** Mine, and only mine!
**** Out of principle
East led the ♥Q
and the defense was quick to win the first 13 tricks. Down 13,
redoubled, vulnerable. 7600 points. The highest score possible in
Bridge. A new
world record!
North almost fell off his chair. But before he got to open his mouth
and mention a few things about stoppers in no trump, South was quicker:
"Why on earth did you redouble?"
