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 play 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 have different skill settings (thinking time), and this was set to the highest level within reason.* The scores and rankings, based on six specific problems, are not necessarily indicative of each program’s overall capability.

*I do not allow any setting that takes more than a minute to make a play. Time considerations are also used to break ties, i.e., if two bots have the same score, the edge goes to the one using less time. Tests are conducted on a 2.0 GHz CPU with 512 MB RAM, running Windows 98.

Congratulations to Jack (Netherlands) which surged to the fore with a solid 51 in a hard-fought battle this month. Close behind at 49 were Bridge Baron and GIB (both US). Six of the seven real bots (shut up HAL) topped the average human score, so times may be changing. One of these days we’re going to wake up and find Hamman and Zia, et al, begging these tin cans for mercy.

The bots were well behaved this month in choosing leads that were listed on my charts. The only exception was on Problem 3, where Blue Chip Bridge (UK) led a trump (not good). Despite this gaff, Blue Chip redeemed my respect on Problem 6 by being the only bot not to cover the J with Q-x. Thus, for all the other bots, their answer to Problem 6 would be immaterial in actual play because they already gave away the contract. Unfortunately for Blue Chip, this was just a side test for my own curiosity, with no impact on the scoring.

*When a bot chooses an unlisted lead, I substitute a listed lead if the difference is trivial or negligible. If the difference is significant, I score it appropriately but never lower than the award for the worst listed lead.

HAL was vastly improved this month, thanks to a new programming algorithm. Rather than decide each problem independently (a sure loss from past experience) HAL now selects a “suit of the month” and sticks with it. This time it was clubs (I guess HAL decided to start small). No fair! In the future, I may have to find out HAL’s “suit” ahead of time so I can shut him out.
