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 Jack, winning easily this month with a fine score of 52, and also the only bot to beat the average human score. Blue Chip Bridge was second with 45. The win moved Jack into third place in the overall standings, closing in fast on Bridge Baron and Micro Bridge. Jack is also the current overall bot champ in my play contests.

The only errant call this month occurred on Problem 6, where GIB and Bridge Buff chose to use Stayman and pass when opener showed four hearts. Indeed, several human participants also suggested this possibility. Usually, going off the chart in a bidding poll gets the same award as the worst listed option, but in this case it deserved better. Listed below as Choice H, I gave it 4.

HAL came out with a new version (9001) this month, claiming to be much improved — a “perfect 10” by its own account, which my tests seem to confirm as well. One of its new features is a mode called “auto-HAL,” which bids and plays hands in the blind. I no longer need to enter the cards! (Not that this ever mattered much anyway.)
