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 won with a fantastic 55, tying the best bot score ever (Bridge Baron also scored 55 way back in March 2001). I guess it’s only fitting that Germany should win — like the newly united state in the 1990 event from which these problems came. Bridge Baron (US) was second with an excellent score of 53 (usually an easy winner). Four bots (including Jack and Micro Bridge) beat the average human score of 46.21.

The bots behaved well this month, with only two errant calls. On Problem 3 (S Q-9-7-4 H K-Q-10-8-7-6 D K-4 C A), GIB chose to cue-bid 3 S, a gross overbid. On Problem 4 (S Q H A-K-Q-J-10-3 D A-Q-9-5 C J-9), Blue Chip Bridge chose to pass 3 NT, a gross underbid — though right in real life, which has no bearing on the scoring. Neither of these calls deserves any merit beyond the worst listed call, so they’re scored the same.

On Problem 2 (S A-Q-J-7-6 H K-4-2 D A-K C 8-5-2) I was curious how many bots would agree with the given 1 S opening, and how many would prefer to open 1 NT. Only Bridge Baron and Blue Chip Bridge opened 1 NT; the rest agreed with 1 S. Similarly, on Problem 4 (S Q H A-K-Q-J-10-3 D A-Q-9-5 C J-9) I was curious if all bots would start with a forcing 3 H response. Most did, but there were two surprises: Bridge Baron made a negative double, and Blue Chip Bridge jumped directly to 6 H. Just as in the real world, the bot world has its characters. Which reminds me, I have to upgrade HAL again after its meltdown in my microwave — don’t ask! Suffice it say I got even.
