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 Blue Chip Bridge (UK), which topped the bots with a mediocre 47. Q-plus Bridge (Germany) and GIB (US) shared second place with 44. Good news, humans! None of the bots could reach the average human score of 47.83. It’s about time those tin-can bridge addicts showed us a little respect.

Bots were well behaved this month, except on the two-part Problem 6, where three went off the chart. Q-plus Bridge and Micro Bridge both bid 4 H over 3 D, while Jack passed. These are indicated as H (think hopeless) in the chart below and awarded 1, the same as the worst listed choice, Option C.

Aside from the competition, I was curious if all bots would raise 1 S to 2 S as a passed hand on Problem 1 with S 8-5-3 H K-5-2 D A-10-8 C 8-7-6-4. (Even playing five-card majors, there is a case to bid 1 NT holding three low spades.) All bid 2 S except Jack, which preferred 1 NT. I was also curious how bots would open and rebid the 27-point mountain on Problem 4, and this produced quite a variety: Only Q-plus Bridge and Jack bid exactly as the problem predicated (2 C opening and 3 D rebid). Blue Chip Bridge, Bridge Baron and Bridge Buff opened 2 C and rebid 3 NT. GIB and Micro Bridge opened 3 NT; but if forced to open 2 C, GIB rebid 3 NT, while Micro Bridge rebid 3 D. Not sure what to make of this, but it seems bots are as fickle as people.

I received a cease-and-desist order from HAL’s attorneys this month, stating that publishing HAL’s scores violates antitrust laws, and that my “libelous polls” have reduced sales. Well, I apologize. Evidently, they don’t understand that bridge is like golf, and the lowest score wins. That should boost sales!
