There has NEVER been a good bridge playing game written for ANY computer!
Certainly not if your level of bridge ability is above that of 2 month
novice.  It has long been one of my great desires to write the first good
one, but I have no desire to do another hack job.  Mike Lawrence has
already agreed to work with me when I finally figure out just how to
takle this problem.  It is SIGNIFICANTLY more complex than chess!!

In the meantime, there is a program called Bridge 5.0 for the Mac.  I
believe that it is written in Basic, and is just as terrible as all the
others I have tried on any other machine.

If you want a program that generates bridge hands for practice to any
different specifications you might like to specify (but doesn't try to
play them), I have a nice one -- Mike Lawrences Bridge Dealer.  It's
available from Baron Bridge Supplies, or Mike Lawrence for $50. (no,
not $49.95, but $50!!)
