Playing Bridge Tutor

 

Your Bridge Tutor was especially

designed to allow you to learn the

game and also improve your playing

skill. You may choose between two

levels of difficulty in the bidding and

playing of the hands, and after the

hand is over, you can check three dif-

ferent scores to judge your skill.
