The vugraph applet which enables you to follow the Orbis
World Bridge Championships 2000 card-by-card, has many features. It was
developed by Canadian expert player and computer whiz Fred Gitelman. Below
is a screen shot. Clicking on this picture will not
have any effect here.
Important note: In order to speed up
the presentation of the applet, some of the buttons are disabled to begin
with. The presentation begins with cards presented in a standard hand
diagram. Once pictures of playing cards have been loaded, the
button will be enabled and you can switch to pictures of playing cards
which is a nicer mode.
Play Screen Features
-The deal number and vulnerability are shown in
the box at the left hand top corner. When someone is vulnerable their side
of the square is colored red. In this example, no one is vulnerable so all
sides of the square are white.
-The bidding diagram is at the right
top corner. Bids that have explanations are surrounded by a grey square.
Moving your mouse over the highlighted bid, will display the explanation.
-The pile of tricks at middle right is only shown when pictures of
playing cards are used. Moving your cursor over any trick pile will
display the cards played to that trick. In hand diagram mode, moving your
cursor over the yellow box noting Tricks won will display the cards played
to the last trick.
