Classification of bridge software
There exists 4 types of bridge software:
. Type I ... Player for random deals
Unlimited deals but very few exciting deals, no commentary, mediocre play by computer.
No final commentary.
The primitive form of bridge software.
. Type II ... Player for pre-selected deals
The computer play is perfect.
The deals are interesting but the game is "mute", as it is not "coached".
The player's mistakes are not explained.
A final commentary explains the solution.
. Type III ... Professor for pre-selected deals
The computer play is perfect. The player is "coached" all along:
- In bidding, the player always plays the right contract.
- In card play, their mistakes are commented and actively treated to allow the player
to find the solution on his/her own.
A final commentary explains the solution.
. Type IV ... Type II + Type III : the most advanced form.
The game will run in 2 phases:
- first in Type II
- then, upon failure, move to Type III.
A final commentary explains the solution.
Type IV : The very best there is, ideal for easy and quick progress
