Names with accented or non-English letters have been converted to an English representation with a 26-letter alphabet. Many people use erratic capitalization, so I determine proper case by algorithm; if this does not correctly display your name, please advise and I will add it to the exception list. If you wish to contact someone whose name you see listed (such as a lost friend) give me permission to send your address to that person, then he or she can contact you. I will not give out e-mail addresses (these are private and go nowhere from me).

Bot’s Eye View

I posed these bidding problems to some of the well-known bridge computer programs, and the results are tabulated below. (These results are not included in the “number of participants” shown above, nor in the calculation of the median or average score.) Most of the programs had different skill settings (thinking time), and this was set to the highest level. The scores and rankings, based on six specific problems, are not necessarily indicative of each program’s overall capability.

Congratulations to Blue Chip Bridge, which topped the bots with an excellent score of 51. GIB was the only other bot to beat the average human score.

Problem 2 created a problem in presentation because of the weak jump raise to 3 D. Even the programs that allowed inverted minor raises as an option did not allow them in competition. Therefore, I devised a workaround: I had North respond 2 D (weak raise) and South rebid 2 H; then I made West jump to 3 S, which is passed around. While not identical, the sequence is practically the same — and certainly close enough for tin cans (hehe).

Problem 3 was also slightly flawed because some of the bots had no option to play support doubles. Therefore, the double wasn’t even a possibility; hence, there was no opportunity to score 10. Shall we all shed a tear for the poor little bots? HAL insisted on playing “inverted support doubles,” so a double would show four trumps, and its chosen raise to 2 S promised three.

As usual, some of the choices went off the charts: On Problem 1, Finesse Bridge elected to pass. A shrewd tactical move? No, I don’t think so; more likely a programming deficiency. On Problem 5, Bridge Buff jumped all the way to 4 H (a gross overbid). On Problem 6, Finesse Bridge chose to pass and respond 2 H to the 1 S opening — weird. For scoring purposes, errant choices are given the same award as the lowest listed call.
