RSS channel with news and changes on this site.

This site collects a set of resources on contract bridge developed by loose group of people who sometimes gather to play together. `Corlan' is the name of the family which usually hosts the meetings. Our best recollections indicate that it all started around 1991.

The `autovaca' probabilities simulator
An online calculator of the probability of having any unknown card, color or point length in each hand, starting from known cards and information learned during the bidding. Source code is also available.

Result forms, bidding boxes, etc
This site is actually a demo of the TeX/LaTeX technology but it has a couple of potentially useful forms we use and which you might find useful too.

www.pub.ro, in reality the acronim of the 'Public University of Bridge', a huge bridge club from Bucharest (literally, thousands of people spending most of their time playing bridge), otherwise disguised as a technical university (;)). Great place to learn the game for the serious and dedicated player. Some math required for admission. Knowledge of Romanian also somewhat recommended. Most of the members of our group have received their diploma from the pub.
