Jag har nu installerat Ben 11.25 och fått det att fungera. Inte så lätt då det saknades en del instruktioner! Resten av texten är på engelska:

I have added the extra installation info to the Ben page and also written an Installation instruction in the Blog on computerbridge.se..

Some basic functions missing in Ben:

1. can’t play any other system except 2/1 (see convention card)
2. can’t configure the bidding system and the conventions (it just plays what it plays and assumes the opponents play that as well)
3. can’t alert
4. can’t explain bids or understand explanations of bids
5. can’t use or interpret defensive signals
6. can’t claim or accept claims
7. it does reach good slams, but slam auctions are a bit weird
8. isn’t deployed as a service which you could play with on the internet (you have to install it to use it)

Ben can play in Table Moniteur against bots/humans and probably also in Table Manager as the implementation of the Blue Chip Protocol in Python is a generic. The Blue Chip Protocol is the standard for communication between the bots and the control SW (TM or Table Moniteur).

I plan to let Ben play against WB5, BCB and MB.

Then also against Nokk (The NukkAI challenge).

And more…
