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.

*Not to exceed 30 seconds per bid. Thinking time is also used to break ties, with the advantage to the bot that was faster.

Guess what, humans? We’re gaining ground. Or maybe the tin cans are just laying low, waiting to catch us by surprise. This proved to be a tough set, as it’s been a long time since no bot beat the average human score. A case of botulism, perhaps? Congratulations to GIB which topped the bot crew with 42, and Bridge Buff only a point behind at 41.

The bot troubles seemed mainly with judgment. On Problem 5, notice how many chose to pass after partner doubled and made a strong diamond rebid; only GIB was truly on the ball with 3 H. Similarly, on Problem 2, half the bots passed 5 S, which was an unthinkable act to most humans.

The support-double option on Problem 4 was slightly unfair, as the convention is unpopular in the United Kingdom and therefore not an option with Blue Chip Bridge. All the other bots had the easy standby (worth only 6) but poor Blue Chip went off the charts with 3 C — the only errant call this month. It is also curious that only GIB and Bridge Buff eschewed the support double to make the winning bid (2 H). I can’t be sure of the logic of the other support-doubling programs, but the choice to double with the actual hand suggests it may have been obligatory.

HAL debuted its newest version (9003) this month, which its company built especially for the Wild West show. Alas, it didn’t do much good, as HAL spewed out nothing but crappy bids — netting one of its lowest scores ever. I called the company president about this, and he was most apologetic. It seems one of the technicians replaced HAL’s silicon chips with cow chips.
