Bridge Bot Analyzer is one of the fastest bridge programs. BBA can operate in two basic modes:
as a table manager - for two rooms simultaneously. In this mode, external bots and the BBA bot can be used in any combination.
as a table member - for connecting to another table manager as a manual member (playing with a partner) or an automatic member (as BBA bot).
The program is mainly designed to compare the effectiveness of selected bidding systems, bidding conventions used in these systems, and various system options. BBA bot can bid using the 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 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.
Due to its high hand generation speed, BBA can be used to generate training data for AI-based bots.
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);
modifying the current hand and saving deals in formats such as: *.bba, *.lin and *.pbn;
the EPBot engine is available to programmers as DLL libraries.

Unlike the vast majority of existing solutions, the bidding module is based on explicitly defined rules and is analogous to human bidding. This results in many advantages:
the percentage of incorrectly interpreted hands stays below 0.1%;
bids are 100% reproducible;
low percentage of irrational contracts;
the code of the program is based on a deterministic model which results in full repeatability of the results.
