Further Functions

Q-plus Bridge has many other functions which can't be shown in detail on our brief tour:

• Q-plus Bridge can be used by two players at once which works particularly well if there are two PCs available. These two PCs need not be connected ; by specifying the same deal number the same hand will be dealt on both PCs.
• Q-plus Bridge can score according to both rubber and tournament rules (with conversion to IMPs). Here is an example of rubber and team scoring.
• Comparison Functions: The comparison functions are important, because they provide the challenge and therefore the excitement for the user.
  • Comparison against the Closed Room:
    The deals are at the same time also played in the Closed Room, which consists of four computer players.
  • Comparison against Pair Tournament Results:
    You are playing hands that have already been played in a Pairs Tournament. So having played a hand, your score will be compared with the results previously recorded and thus you can get an immediate matchpoint score.
  • Comparison against Team Tournament Deals:
    This is similar to the Closed Room - the difference is that the second result is taken from a selected tournament file.

• Simulation of user bids:
  At any time when it is the turn to enter a bid the user can start a simulation of several bids. The program then calculates the results of these bids over a number of deals - up to 1000 deals
• Q-plus Bridge is shipped with English, German, and French user interface.
• Finally, all functions of the program are explained in a detailed user manual (about 50 pages).
