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 3.4 GHz CPU with 512 MB RAM, running Windows 98.

Congratulations to Micro Bridge (Japan) which captured the gold with a respectable 48. GIB (US) grabbed the silver with 47, and Q-plus Bridge (Germany) took the bronze with 45. Look at that! United States beats Germany in the bot biathlon. I knew we could do it! Six bots beat the average human score (39.69), which is a bit unsettling. There’s something about bots carrying rods that makes me nervous — but I won’t mention any names, HAL.

Bots were well behaved this month, as none of their choices went off my chart, except for negligible cases of choosing a different spot card (changed to the listed card in the table). Problem 3 caused a dilemma, because none of the bots had a setting to allow attitude signals as the norm but count on a king against a suit slam. Therefore, to be fair (generous?), I allowed each bot two chances, according to whether partner signaled high or low, and accepted the better choice if different.

On Problem 1, I was curious how many bots would choose to lead from J-10-7-6-4, as opposed to the given K from K-Q-3. In my mind it’s close. Only Micro Bridge and Bridge Baron led the K; the rest led a club, although Q-plus Bridge and Blue Chip Bridge chose the jack instead of the six. HAL refused to answer because it was using the Valentine strategy this month and wouldn’t be sidetracked by my “black-suit trivia.” On Problems 4 and 6, HAL played Elvis’s “See See Rider” until I got the message. Bang, zoom; one less HAL to feed.
