Bot Results and Rankings
|
 by Richard Pavlicek |
From February 2001 to August 2006, I tested various computer bridge programs on the problems posed in my bidding polls and play contests. Results are summarized here. This should not be considered a rigid scientific test because certain factors could not be equalized; e.g., bidding system understandings, and the exact time allowed for each call or play. Programs with adjustable skill levels were tested at the highest setting not to exceed one minute per turn.
Below are the participating bots in alphabetical order (rankings are elsewhere) with a website link if available:
| Bot Program | Author/Creator
|
|---|
| Blue Chip Bridge | Ian Trackman and Mike Whittaker
|
| Bridge Baron | Tom Throop and Stephen Smith
|
| Bridge Buff | Doug Bennion
|
| Finesse Bridge (defunct) | Mark and Aaron Marin
|
| GIB | Matthew Ginsberg
|
| HAL | Someone with a warped mind
|

|

HAL 9000 is a fake bot included for amusement — call it payback for its misdeeds in 2001: A Space Odyssey. HAL’s scores were appreciated, not only for staking a perpetual claim on last place but for lowering the average bot score, so the true bots were mostly above average.
