A Bridge Hand

Part of the migration to the new hosting provider was upgrading the software. Part of that meant porting Luise Lee’s Bridge Tools so that you could continue to enter hands, auctions, full deals, etc., as you are used to. This post is just a demonstration that this actually works!

Here is a bridge hand for you:

 

Dealer: Vul:	North ♠   K7 ♥   KJ93 ♦   T763 ♣   KJT
West ♠   853 ♥   7 ♦   AK5 ♣   A97654		East ♠   AQ9 ♥   8652 ♦   J98 ♣   Q32
	South ♠   JT642 ♥   AQT4 ♦   Q42 ♣   8

 

That was a full deal, now to try just the East-West hands:

 

West ♠   853 ♥   7 ♦   AK5 ♣   A97654

East ♠   AQ9 ♥   8652 ♦   J98 ♣   Q32

 

and now the North-South hands:

 

North ♠   K7 ♥   KJ93 ♦   T763 ♣   KJT

South ♠   J642 ♥   AQT4 ♦   Q42 ♣   8

 

Of course, sometimes we have to bid hands as well 🙂

 

West	North	East	South
2♣ *	Pass	2NT *	Pass
3♣	Pass	Pass	Dbl
All Pass

 

Here are the suit symbols: ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣  whoops! There seem to be a couple of problems. The colour gets set incorrectly (or, should I say, it doesn’t get reset to black) and the font-size for the club symbol is off. Actually, now that I look a little closer, it appears the symbols are in increasing font-sizes.

Well, at least it appears easy to reset the color of the text from the editor buttons in the toolbar!

 One of the things we are trying to do is ensure that copying or moving bridgeblogging,com to another hosting provider does not trip up over URLs pointing where they shouldn’t. That is particularly true for the images that appear in bridge diagrams.

 

 

West ♠   AJxx ♥   KT9x ♦   Qx ♣   AJx

East ♠   KTxx ♥   Qx ♦   xx ♣   KQxxx

 Now for another test…

 

North ♠   A J x x ♥   K T 9 x ♦   Q x ♣   A J x

South ♠   K T x x ♥   Q x ♦   x x ♣   K Q x x x
