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 Bridge Baron (US), which topped the bots with a mediocre score of 46, and GIB (US) was second with 44. For the second poll in a row, not one bot could beat the average human score. Could it be a case of botulism? Whatever, this may be a good sign for the future of bridge — at least compared to chess, where the bots have taken over.

Bots were well behaved this month, except on Problem 4, where GIB and Jack both rebid 3 C (nonforcing) with S Q H 6-5 D 6-4 C A-K-Q-J-10-7-5-4. At first I thought this might be a system setting, but I verified that “2-over-1 game forcing” was not in effect. An ultraconservative position, to be sure, but I scored it 4, since it’s surely better than bidding 4 NT or 6 C.

For interest sake, I was curious if any bots would make the fierce 3 S weak jump overcall on Problem 1, as Meckstroth did to give his opponents a headache. Not surprisingly, none did. GIB at least bid 2 S; Jack overcalled 1 S; but pathetically the rest all passed. On Problem 4, I was curious if all bots would make the normal 2 C response (to 1 S) with the solid eight-bagger — and they all did. Well done! Or at least, compliments for not going berserk.

HAL was determined to “notrump the problem numbers” until it had to settle for letters on Problems 5 and 6. When I tried to adjust Problem 1 to a sufficient bid, HAL became angry and threatened to electrocute my cat. I don’t even have a cat but decided to play it safe, since I didn’t like the way HAL was eyeing me — 1 NT is fine, and I scored it 9.
