During our Cherry Blossom Festival, on April 23, we invite you to try our experimental AI bridge engine, which is known as ‘Ben’ (Bridge ENgine).

In this festival, we'll offer you a preview of the latest improvements to BBO's Ben: Enjoy human-like leads; more disciplined bidding (eg Blackwood responses) & several bugfixes related to competitive bidding. Try it out and let us know what you think.
