Bridge Solver: Tips, Tricks, Cheats

Bridge Solver

Elevate your Contract Bridge game with Bridge Solver, an advanced interactive hand analyzer designed to refine your strategy and deepen your understanding. Utilizing Bo Haglund's renowned double dummy solver module, this powerful tool calculates makeable contracts, par contracts, and par scores for any bridge hand or set of hands, offering unparalleled insight into optimal play.

Interactive Analysis & Optimal Play Guidance

Select a contract and play the hand interactively to explore various lines of play. Bridge Solver provides immediate feedback: on the opening lead, it displays the maximum number of tricks achievable by the defenders for each possible lead, assuming optimal play from all sides. After every card is played, this crucial information is updated for the new position, with optimal cards highlighted in green at each stage. This feature is invaluable for learning, practicing, and mastering complex scenarios.

Seamless Integration with Bridge Resources

Bridge Solver enhances your experience of browsing session results on popular bridge websites. It can browse and bookmark websites, directly extracting hands from diagrams hosted on major platforms including ACBL (various formats like ACBLmerge, ACBL Common Game, ACBL Live, ACBL Live For Clubs), BridgeWebs, Pianola, Bridge Base Online (including movie links), EBU Sims, ECatsBridge Sims, Vugraphcom, Bridge-Cluborg, and Altosoftcomau. Analyze these hands through double dummy analysis or interactive card play directly within the app.

Import, Export & Review

Effortlessly import deals by tapping on PBN, DLM, or BBO LIN file links within Bridge Solver's browser, or import from local storage. Play recorded contracts from LIN files with full double dummy analysis at each step, clearly highlighting any deviations from optimal play.
