Ultimate Bridge SolitaireThis game arose out of my frustration with the available selection of on-line and freeware Bridge programs for one player. One too many times my 20 point hand would be passed out with my partner holding 18 points of support! Or I would watch game winning aces get discarded in preference to clinging on to losing jacks in the same suit. Some don't even bother consistently following suit.... So I wrote my own, including the features I most value as a student of the game: the ability to replay hands, with altered contracts, to see how different approaches play out; open-handed play to accelerate teaching of the game to my kids; and the ability to set a card layout to play along with a teaching article. For those new to the game, computer bidding recommendations are optionally available. I have done my best to make the AIs follow Standard American bidding conventions, with optional inclusion of both Stayman and Blackwood. However, Bridge is a marvelously complex game, and especially with open-handed viewpoint available, every AI fail will be clearly visible. I welcome feedback on any obvious shortcomings in the AI programming, and will endeavor to improve their play as my time permits. Of course, their performance will always be limited by my own skill in Bridge, meaning on good days your partner will signal suit preference in its discards; on other deals, not so much, and as for your partner figuring out where the vital missing queen resides based on the bidding and honor cards played in the first six tricks, good luck with that!
