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).
Location Ranking
This table lists all the participating locations, ranked by the average score of their entries. The “Best” column shows the best finish (by rank) of any player in that location. Locations with less than five entries are ineligible for the top ranking and grouped separately.

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 Jack (Netherlands), which won easily with a solid 51. A distant second went to GIB (United States) with 45. Jack and GIB were the only bots to top the average human score of 43.51. The win vaulted Jack into the overall lead, surpassing archrival GIB, which held the lead for a long time.
As usual, some of the lines of play chosen were not listed on my chart (or close enough to be effectively the same). Sometimes these wayward techniques prove to have some merit (better than at least one of my choices) and are indicated as Line G. On Problem 2, GIB ruffed a club, drew two trumps and led a heart, eventually playing for East to have 
K-x or Q-x, awarded 3. On Problem 4, Blue Chip Bridge led 
A-K-Q immediately, while Bridge Baron took a devious path with about the same chances, also awarded 3. Plays without merit beyond my worst choice are indicated as Line H (think hopeless) and best left undescribed — surely it must be dinner time somewhere in the world.
As a side activity, I was curious how many bots would follow the proper technique on Problem 1 of cashing the A and ruffing a spade (as designated before my problem). Kudos to Jack, GIB and Bridge Buff for doing exactly that. Bridge Baron ruffed a spade without cashing the ace; Micro Bridge and Q-plus Bridge took the club finesse first; and Blue Chip Bridge took the heart finesse.
HAL forced me to come up with a new designation this month (I for idiot’s play), as its plays on Problems 2 and 6 would make Line H almost heroic. Perhaps HAL had its microchips aimed at a new job with our Federal Government (CIA? FBI?) — at least there’s no future in bridge.
