Video number six is at: This ten videoseries is based on the articles published by Marty Bergen in the ACBL BridgeBulletin from June 2018 to April 2019, entitled “Squeezes made easy.”

I have justpublished on YouTube the first 5 animated videos (in a series of 10 videos) thatintroduce the intermediate player to the "advanced" play of the squeeze. This ten videoseries is based on the articles published by Marty Bergen in the ACBL BridgeBulletin from June 2018 to April 2019, entitled "Squeezes made easy."

This is a video animation for the intermediate to advanced Bridge player. This hand illustrates the dilemma of choice when faced with multiple alternatives. https://youtu.be/kUlZq3P1lRo[media]https://youtu.be/agxQewec9n4 [/media] My software creates a PowerPoint animation from a .pbn file A custom "[script]" section adds animations and displays text for each bid or card played. The resulting PowerPoint presentation may be further customized manually. Here is an example of the corresponding .pbn file: [Dealer "S"] [Vulnerable "ALL"] [Deal "S:AKQJ87.K97.K2.AQ 63.63.QT53.KJ862 T952.AJ82.A84.73 4.QT54.J976.T954"] [Contract "6S"] [Declarer "S"] [Auction "S"] 2C Pass 2D Pass 2S Pass 3S Pass 4C Pass 4D Pass 4H Pass 4NT Pass 5C Pass 5D Pass 6D Pass 6S Pass Pass Pass [Play "W"] S6 S9 S4 SA S3 S2 D6 SK H3 H2 H4 HK H6 HJ HQ H7 CK C3 CT CQ * [script] slide=open|trg=1|tra=rnd|dur=2 wait=2\up=SA,SK,SQ,SJ\txt=10 Points|width=70|pos=SK|ali=center wait=1.5\up=HK,CA,CQ\txt=19 Points|width=70|pos=H7|ali=center wait=1.5\up=DK\txt=22 Points|width=70|pos=D2|ali=center slide=bid|trg=on bid=2C\txt=Strong. 19+ points, 3 1/2 losers.

“Bridge Animator” creates Bridge tutorials as PowerPoint presentations. It reads *.pbn files and creates animated slides: one slide for the bids, one slide for the opening lead, and 13 slides for the play of the hand (one for each trick). The resulting PowerPoint presentation may be further customized manually. It is currently in beta testing. The next version will read *.lin files. Watch the first video I created using this software here: Counting an opponent's hand Hope you find it interesting.
