Bidding System: American 2 over 1 Game Forcing. Microbridge 13.3 has a setting for duplicate play known as Match Point play ("Trying to take the extra trick"), but in tests this is too aggressive and the Microbridge results are better with this setting switched to IMP play. I have discovered that using the first 8 boards in the dealing, I just get the robots to change seats after board 8. for knockout event instead of a winner for those who played the North South.cards and another winner for those who played the East West cards. The reason for doing this is the scoring, by rotating the boards this creates a one winner system. ![]() This is done so that the robots have played each board as both as North and South and East and West. Boards 9 to 16 are then rotated by Jack 6.11, but they are in fact boards 1 to 8 rotated. I use GIB 6.20 to generate the first 8 boards because GIB saves in PBN 1.0 format which is the only format recognized by all the playing robots.

There was a problem discovered at this year's event after quite a few rounds had been completed, which made these rounds null and void, So this year the robots have only played from the Quarter Finals onwards with no round robin stage being played. The four highest placed robots from the final table move on to the Semi Final. The robots would normally play 7 rounds of round robin format, with one robot taking a bye in each round. This setup will change next year due to recent discoveries of how bridge robots use their memory for bidding and card play.įormat is usually similar to the official World Computer BridgeĬhampionships, but only 16 board are played in each round throughout, ![]() There is a copy of each robot on both Laptops.
