[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Strong PC Bridge Programs

clong@utopia.rutgers.edu (Chris Long) (07/15/90)

Does anyone know what the current strongest bridge program that's
available for the PC is?  Which one in the most flexible (in terms of
conventions)?  A friends parents (both of whom are life masters)
are very interested, and she'd really like a strong program to play
so that she could work on not being trounced by them, also.  Additionally,
I need to work on my game, although I don't like to admit it.

All responses are greatly appreciated, and I'll personally answer
all responses that I get in addition to posting a summary later.

Thanks!

If computer-based bridge opponents evolve the same way as chess opponents,
she doesn't have anything to worry about, at least for a while.  :-)
