BRIDGE 6.0 is a bridge-playing program in which the player is joined by : a computer partner against two computer opponents. The program consists of two parts; bidding for the contract, and playing out the hand. | The bidding in BRIDGE 6.0 is Standard American, five card major. The program recognizes the Blackwood and Stayman conventions. If youare a bridge novice, we strongly recommend that you first read any of the excellent books on the subject. Artworx also publishes a bridge tutorial, COMPUBRIDGE, which is an ideal way to use your computer to learn to play bridge. | LOADING: Insert the BRIDGE 6.0 disk and select the BRIDGE icon.
