Latest Release!
Now featuring FOUR useful programs in one package ... a playing program, a deal generator, a convention builder, plus a convention card editor/printer.
"Bridge Buff plays a great game of Bridge. It is highly praised throughout the Bridge Community. It is perfect for all levels of players, with Tutors for beginners and intermediates, and large numbers of conventions (codified deep into the auction), for more advanced players.
It features excellent auction stability. We use Visual Deal to deal out thousands of randomly generated deals, complete with auctions. Then we vet each auction for reasonableness. We find that some 19 of 20 auctions are completed in a sensible fashion. There are two playing modes. In Practice mode, you have full control over every element of the game, and you can redeal, rebid, replay, takeback cards, peek, and cheat as much as you want. In Match mode, you play a series of hands against a 'closed room' opponent and can play Teams, Pairs and Individual matches. Match mode also includes matchpoint estimates so you can measure how well you are doing against both Strong and Weak fields.
Bridge Buff looks terrific, and is exceptionally easy to use. It features one-button access to most functions, and includes balloon help comments over most buttons."
