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.

Congratulations to Q-plus Bridge (Germany) which topped all the bots with a worthy score of 50. Second place was a photo, as three bots scored 47: Micro Bridge (Japan), Bridge Baron (US) and GIB (US). Jack was close behind with 46. These five bots also beat the average human score (44.67) so it might be time for us to start worrying again.

As usual, there were a few errant calls (not listed among my choices). On Problem 5, Bridge Baron, Blue Chip Bridge and Bridge Buff chose an ultraconservative 3 NT. In stark contrast on Problem 4, GIB was really feeling its oats and jumped to 7 NT. None of these calls deserves any special consideration, so they are scored the same as the lowest listed choice.

Problem 4 created an issue for two bots, Bridge Baron and Blue Chip Bridge, because they did not understand (and had no option to adjust for) the default system in which Stayman followed by 3 D was game forcing. To be fair, I created an analogous sequence (1 NT 3 D; 3 NT ?) that was understood to be strong, and I accepted their call from there.

On Problem 6, three bots disagreed with opening 1 C (i.e., they did something else if given the chance). Q-plus Bridge and Micro Bridge preferred to pass; and Bridge Baron preferred to open 1 D. Actually, HAL also disagreed, but it was more with my testing practice than any particular bid. In fact, each time I tried to coax another call, I was told in no uncertain terms, “Stick it up your…”
