mcroftSo, Freeverse has a bridge program. It's sorta dumb in solo mode, but you can play with live opponents. I tried it tonight. It was fun, especially when we did well.
Highlights:
Lowlights:
Overall impression: fun! But would be better with people I knew and wanted to play with. Also, I'm rusty as hell, but a good defender.
Highlights:
- Set the opposition by 4 in the first game of the second rubber in a cross-ruff fest of epic proportions. Gratifying because they were set before they won a trick. Not their fault, but I had four hcp.
- Won both rubbers.
Lowlights:
- Overanalyzed partner's opening 4NT bid and missed slam chance.
- Partner and RHO got cranky over my missing that.
- Didn't figure out what partner's 4D over 2NT meant. Turns out it meant "let's play in 4D." I bid 4H, he went to 5D, we went down 1
Overall impression: fun! But would be better with people I knew and wanted to play with. Also, I'm rusty as hell, but a good defender.
