(“TL;DR” at the end) Hello. I study Computer Engineering in Middle East Technical University. I am interested in algorithms and information theory. I started playing bridge in 2019 with the bridge club in my university. I played for 6 months until I decided that memorizing bidding systems that have been improved for years by experts is not for me. I have interests other than memorizing some systems and trying to learn card play to expertise in a complex game. I did not play the game afterwards… However, some idea have been on my mind since then: what if one aims something other than being an expert or at least an intermediate player in this game? I will be having a lot of responsibilities in my life other than playing bridge. So I will never be able to play the game well. So having fun is my main aim -if any- in this game. With these, I had this idea: creating a fully original bidding and carding system for contract bridge. I know that this sounds crazy considering I am a beginner and my card play is not even good. I know that even if we (since the game is played with a partner…) could create this system, it will be very hard to play with others since everytime we would need to explain the meanings. However, I believe that this problem can be solved in many ways that I won’t explain here in this post. I want to see how much of improvement can be done starting from scratch. If you fancy the idea of “creating and constantly improving a totally original bidding system for this game just for fun, not for easy winning” (or if you know anyone who’d like this idea), show up and let us begin the journey! “TL,DR”: I seek a parner or multiple people (preferably beginners) to create and constantly improve a bidding and carding system from stratch. My aim is to have fun creating something and watching it develop as I (and those who would join me) improve it…
