With help from my friends, I am developing Practice Bidding Scenarios. This works on a BBO Practice Table. A user just clicks a button with the name of the scenario, the constraints are automatically imported to the 'use this code' at Deal source/Advanced. A single user can deal and bid these hands with a robot. A partnership can practice with or without robots. They can switch among the scenarios, such as Jacoby Transfers, Slam after Stayman, Smolen, Weak 2 Bids, etc. I even created a whole set of scenarios that correspond to Gavin Wolpert's Major Suit Response Structure. I've done several others for him.
I'm excited about the response AND the potential. I'm sharing a document that explains the background. I'm including a snippet that explains my motivation.
I decided what I want and don’t want:
- I want to make this available as broadly as possible, as soon as possible.
- I don't want to pursue a trademark, copyright, or patent.
- I don’t want to make money from this.
- I want people to enjoy this.
- I want more people to play better bridge.
I'm 81 years old; I don’t have time to wait!
I would like your help in promoting this and encouraging users to use it. This has real potential for helping bridge players learn how to bid hands that occur infrequently.
