About Bridge Master

Bridge Master is available for free to all Bridge Base members

Bridge Master is an educational program designed to improve your declarer play. You are presented with a series of instructional hands to play as declarer. The deals are carefully constructed, designed to illustrate an important declarer play technique; if you take the correct line of play you will always make your contract. On the other hand, if you make any mistake, the program will always defend perfectly and defeat your contract.

To use it go to the BBO menu and click Practice > Bridge Master

A Show solution button is available to explain the correct line of play as well as the thinking process that leads to the solution.

Select Deal
There are 5 difficulty levels, each containing lots of deals. To start playing, click on the desired skill level, then click on a deal to select it. The deal will be loaded to the table and you will be able to play it.

To review the bidding, which sometimes contains valuable clues for solving a deal, click on the rectangle showing the contract that is in play.

The selection tool at the top left corner of the table allows you to Undo or Redeal during the play. You can also navigate through the deals using the Next Deal / Previous Deal buttons, or click Select deal again to choose another skill level.
