c. Computer Peeks

[Level Menu Item: 123456789TP]

This unique level, displayed as P for computer Peeks, is also a Team of Four Level. Here, the computer is given a distinct advantage, in that it's allowed to "see" game information that it would not ordinarily be able to access! This level can come in handy for those of you who find that you're beating the computer once too often. Try out Level P, and you'll definitely have to work harder to win! Don't worry, though, about giving up too much power- the computer is fairly reasonable about peeking, and uses only some of the available information to gain an advantage.

Note, also, that the advantage the computer gains is more significant in defensive play than in bidding or declarer play. You can also rest assured that the computer will never peek on any other level!
