App summary

Interactive bridge hand analyser utilising Bo Haglund's well known double dummy solver module.

Calculates makeable contracts, par contracts and par scores for any bridge hand, or for a set of hands.

Select a contract and play the hand interactively to investigate various lines of play. On the opening lead the maximum number of tricks that can be made by the defenders for each possible lead is shown, assuming optimum subsequent play by the declarer and defenders. After each card is played the same information is shown for the next position, the optimum cards being highlighted in green at each stage.

Bridge Solver can browse and bookmark websites, and grab hands directly from hand diagrams on web pages hosted on ACBL (several diagram formats, including ACBLmerge, ACBL Common Game, ACBL Live, ACBL Live For Clubs), BridgeWebs, Pianola, Bridge Base Online (movie links), EBU Sims, ECatsBridge Sims, Vugraph.com, Bridge-Club.org, and Altosoft.com.au. Analyse the hands through double dummy analysis or interactive card play.

Εξαιρετικό, αλλά όχι για το πραγματικό παιχνίδι

For novice users of this App, an on-line user manual will be very useful. Many deals are makeabke or un-makeable depending on the opening lead. It would help to identify the best opening lead

Thank you so much for this. I play bridge with my husband and kids every weekends. Now, finally we can see what was the optimal way of playing a board. We are grateful.
