Programming puzzles in bridge hands by Phillip Alder
In this column fragment Phillip Alder analyzes a bridge deal where four computers echo the same program and players misread a key card, detailing the spade heart and diamond sequences, the timing of the king, and the diamond jack misplay. The discussion covers declarer choices, leads, discards, and the impact of suit splits on the contract.
