Hints for Bridge Clubs using Bridge Analyser:

====================
• Dealing: Bridge Analyser can deal random hands for duplicate sessions. These hands can be printed on curtain cards, on travellers, on hand outs, and to web files that can be uploaded to the internet. See print options.
• Statistics can be printed for each set of hands showing average points for each hand and frequency of different suit lengths and point counts.

•

A link to Bo Haglund's Double Dummy Solver means a makeable contracts grid can be printed showing how many tricks can be made by each hand in each suit or no trumps assuming double dummy declarer play and defence.
• The set of hands dealt can be pre analysed to ensure a reasonably even split of points between each hand over all the deals, or an even split for North-South to East-West.
• All sets of deals can be saved for future analysis, and PBN, DLM or DUP files can be created for input to automatic dealing machines. Deal handouts can also be printed directly, saved as pdf files or saved in web (htm) format. Deal sets can also be saved to a database with a unique identifier code for future use or compilation of annual statistics.
• A significant number of options exist for biasing the deals - see the teaching page.

Creating a set of hands for an evening duplicate could not be easier. You start Bridge Analyser, select Deals + Files from the menu and choose your options from the screen below:
