| Bridge During the Pandemic |
 All Unit 232 bridge sites are closed due to the COVID - 19 pandemic. In the meantime, many of our members and other bridge friends in north Alabama are playing bridge online using the Bridge Base Online (BBO) platform. It is easy to use and even offers some benefits over playing in the club. The games are usually 18 to 24 boards, played at a rate of 7 minutes/board, lasting approximately 2 hours, and they award ACBL black master points. Occasionally we have an opportunity to win red master points. We appreciate the support that our players have given to the Unit 232 virtual games. Your participation helps to keep our bridge players connected with each other, as well as helping us pay our Directors and other bills during this time that the Unit 232 clubs are closed for face-to-face bridge. WHERE: www.bridgebase.com COST: $6, just like at the club.

| Bridge Solver Online |
Bridge Solver Online (BSOL) is a free software application which allows you to replay a hand and analyze the results of that replay decision. It is integrated into the BridgeWebs software so any hand that was played at the Huntsville Bridge Club can be played again with the click of a button. You can change the contract, the lead, cards played, etc. If you have ever played a hand and thought you might have gotten another trick if you had taken a different line, this is exactly what you need. If you have ever looked at the Double Dummy makeable contracts and been unable to figure out how you could possibly make that many tricks, this is the answer. For a guide on how to use this "Play it again" software, click this link.
