INTRODUCTION
Topbridge
is played as an "individual" tournament against other human
players for cash prizes. You don't have to search for partner
or table.
Topbridge has an excellent simple bidding system that must be
understood and played by ALL participants WITHOUT variation.
The system is based on a five card Major, better Minor, and
a 15-17 point No Trump, with weak two's and jump overcalls,
and RKC Blackwood. Even those not used to the system should
easily adapt to this straightforward Natural system, and they
may discover new skills pleasures! Carding methods are simple
and easy to follow.
As
neither your Partner or the opponents are known to you prior
to playing a hand, it is not necessary to have a tedious dialogue
with partner (who in any case changes nearly every hand) before
the commencement of playing. You know what system Partner and
opponents play - the same as you!
No
post mortems, apologies, opponents gloating, and nor is necessary
to be a fast computer keyboard typist or understand all the
little net-freaks symbols.
Just
after the tournament period is over, the results are available
on Topbridge's web-pages. Here you can see the bid and play
from every table. A great way to improve your bidding and playing
skills. In the latest version of Topbridge you can also replay
interesting boards played by the other players!
Topbridge
is currently available with English as default language. In
addition the bridge program and the Topbridge Convention Card
is available in French, Dutch and Italian.
