The Bridge Bidding Analyser program is mainly designed to compare the effectiveness of selected bidding systems, bidding conventions used in these systems, and various system options (Automatic bidding). The program has the ability to bid on following systems:
independently for the NS and WE lines.
The results of the bidding in the first room (pale cyan color) and second room (pale yellow color) are used for the analysis.
The program also offers the user the opportunity to independently bid on selected hands in the first room and compare with the auction carried out automatically in the second room (Manual bidding).
The program can also be used to "Get the meaning of any bid" and to troubleshoot "What's your call?".
Each of the used bidding systems is configured by means of convention cards. The application allows you to configure an unlimited number of CC convention cards and save them in configuration files with the * .bbsa extension.
The main features of the program:
manual bidding on a selected position with a remote partner against robots;
generating hands with the chosen convention or with the selected bid sequence;
entering hands in various formats (also in the BBO URL format);
modification of the current hand and saving hands in the formats: *.lin and *.pbn;
EPBot bidding engine available for programmers in the form of dll libraries.
Menu and deal number;
Right-click menu:
reload the current hand (previously you may change settings) - through the Reload menu or the F6 key, the hand bidding can be repeated many times with changed settings in the convention card or changed bidding system;
random entering a hand;
open a saved *.bba or *.lin or *.pbn file;
save the current deal as a *.lin or *.pbn file;
copy the current deal;

Right-click menus are available for many elements of the graphical interface.
Unlike the vast majority of existing solutions, the bidding module auction is based on defined rules and is analogous to human auctioning. This results in many advantages:
the interpretation of the hand is very similar to the real hand, incorrectly interpreted hands stay below 1/1000;
100% repeatability of bids;
low percentage of irrational contracts;
the code of the program is based on a deterministic model which results in full repeatability of the results.
Bidding engine is flexible enough to cope with different opponent systems.
