7963 BiddingAnalyser.exe.zip Microsoft Defender doesn't like BBA. I use Avast, to which I send BBA from time to time.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

Defender likes this one. Very good

[EdwardPiwowar]

7972 BiddingAnalyser.exe.zip After our opening 1NT:

• after the sequence 1N-(2C)-? all bids have the same meaning as after the sequence 1N-(P)-? The exception are bids that conflict with bid 2C;
• instead of 2C there is a double as Stayman;
• if the opponent's dbl - redouble is penalty, 7*+ HCP.

[EdwardPiwowar]

Meaning of -4 and 4+ in BBA: "-4" means 4 or less (not the same as <4); "4+" means 4 or more (not the same as >4). https://sites.google.com/view/bbaenglish/program-description/auction-description

[ThorvaldAagaard]

Great.

1: What is the standard BOT? (Different from EPBot)

2: Can I be possible to select more than one for Manual?

Please explain how you intend manual and automatic for Table Manager

[Muppet1]

Ok so I set up 1 table of wbridge in all seats and set archive table one. I set it running but it only plays one hand and wants to have a table 2. Is there anyway I can skip table 2 as that is just more time and the same with another 4 wbridge?

Ok I made table 2 epbots so that shd make it faster.

[EdwardPiwowar]

BBA-preview.zip

• Standard BOT - any bot that uses Blue Chip Bridge networking protocol and is launched manually;
• Manual - any number of items;
• Manual member is equivalent to remote partner as I am removing this option;
• Both rooms need to bid, but you've already found a way to bid faster. One port 4114. It should also work with ben.

BBA-preview.zip

Now proper port for Ben 4114, the same for others.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

Should I build an executable of BEN to use with BBA?

[EdwardPiwowar]

No, folder Ben with table_manager_client.exe, config and models.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

All config and models, or just some specific?

[ThorvaldAagaard]

Try this: https://www.netbridge.dk/bridge/upload/BEN/table_manager_client.zip

It is 625 MB

Be aware it is slow to start as the entire python environment is included in the executable

[EdwardPiwowar]

New table_manager_client.exe. What am I doing wrong?

[ThorvaldAagaard]

I think I am expecting the names of the teams

Used for saving opponents

[EdwardPiwowar]

I sent "seated" twice, then I will check it, because I tried it on a very weak computer, on which the previous table_manager_client.exe did not work at all.

[EdwardPiwowar]

Takes 4 minutes to boot on a very weak computer, but seems to work fine. It thinks a lot longer than the previous version because of DD I think.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

The time is spent on unpacking python, and creating the environment, I think the previous version included less python packages, and perhaps I should make a go for creating a bare minimum python environment to include. But I had problems creating the .exe in anaconda environment, so I was happy getting it to work.

[EdwardPiwowar]

8091 BiddingAnalyser.exe.zip

[EdwardPiwowar]

table_manager_client.exe creates a huge number of large files in "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp" which causes the disk to overflow.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

Yes, it includes a full python environment. I will try to see if I can reduce it

[EdwardPiwowar]

8092 BiddingAnalyser.exe.zip

[EdwardPiwowar]

Additionally, table_manager_client.exe could delete its folder when it is closed. Another option may be an additional command parameter with the name of the folder being created, so that it can be deleted by name.

8101 BiddingAnalyser.exe.zip

[EdwardPiwowar]

8105 BiddingAnalyser.exe.zip

[ThorvaldAagaard]

I have just bid the 1 mill hands with 8101. So I am thinking about a log, so I can see what is updated.

I am also thinking about bidding the hands again, and the compare the bidding from the 2 versions, so I can be more certain about the changes, but also can check if it is needed training a new model

[EdwardPiwowar]

I don't think we've yet hit upon the main reason why WB5 is better.

[ThePokerDude]

@EdwardPiwowar The progress BBA is making is really good.

Any time a new version is released I go over randomly generated boards. I have no statistics but I observe that the number of clear errors is strongly decreasing. Thanks for putting in so much work and releasing new versions at such a high frequency.

[EdwardPiwowar]

@ThePokerDude I am also interested in improving BBA. Especially in conditions of such nice and professional cooperation.

[EdwardPiwowar]

To do

[ThorvaldAagaard]

So what play-algorithm are you planning to add?

[EdwardPiwowar]

First I need to fully prepare BBA TM to play with bots. Then I will apply a one-shot DD to EBot + rules. BBA should be good at generating the right hand, but there must be rules in the first tricks.
