About this game
Interactive bridge hand analyser utilising Bo Haglund's well known double dummy solver module.
Calculates makeable contracts, par contracts and par scores for any bridge hand, or for a set of hands.
Select a contract and play the hand interactively to investigate various lines of play. On the opening lead the maximum number of tricks that can be made by the defenders for each possible lead is shown, assuming optimum subsequent play by the declarer and defenders. After each card is played the same information is shown for the next position, the optimum cards being highlighted in green at each stage.
Enhance the experience of browsing session results on bridge websites. Bridge Solver can browse and bookmark websites, and grab hands directly from hand diagrams on web pages hosted on ACBL (several diagram formats, including ACBLmerge, ACBL Common Game, ACBL Live, ACBL Live For Clubs), BridgeWebs, Pianola, Bridge Base Online (movie links), EBU Sims, ECatsBridge Sims, Vugraph.com, Bridge-Club.org, and Altosoft.com.au. Analyse the hands through double dummy analysis or interactive card play.
Tap on a link to a .PBN, .DLM, or BBO .LIN file in Bridge Solver's browser to download and import deals. Play the recorded contract(s) from a .LIN file with full double dummy analysis at each step, highlighting where the recorded line of play is non optimal. Follow the recorded line of play or investigate alternatives by choosing a different playable card at any point in the play.
Alternatively, analyse deals input manually or import deals from a PBN, DLM, or LIN file on local storage.
Export deals to a PBN file on local storage.

Ok but I had hoped it would show the correct data when a teams match is played. It does show 2 sets of boards with board 1 showing twice as I would expect but it shows the same players in both sets.

This might not be the prettiest app, but it's amazing. Functionalaity is fantastic, does everything you want it to and then some. Great options for importing online boards or sessions.

For novice users of this App, an on-line user manual will be very useful. Many deals are makeabke or un-makeable depending on the opening lead. It would help to identify the best opening lead

The app already shows the best opening lead. Click on the declarer/suit combination in the makeable contract box and this will show you the number of tricks makeable by the defence for each lead card. The green cards are the optimal choices. Help is already available - when playing or editing a hand there is a Help button on every screen.
