There was a symmetric relay bidding practice tool called 'Bridge2Symmetric' but its homepage has disappeared. Does anyone have a link to a copy?

Can I suggest one of you host it in a publicly accessible location, such as google drive? :D Failing that Foobar is hopefully sending me a copy and I will do it.

You can certainly suggest it... (I won't do so, but the suggestion is most welcome)

Ah, a constructive and positive response that will surely advance the uptake of relay methods in the bridge community!

I thought it was a very polite response. And, while I appreciate the fact that

1. You'd like to be able to use the program
2. You can't buy a copy

No he didn't give it away. It was on sale at about $25. Perhaps you could email him and ask to buy a copy. It is a very useful tool, I agree.

It is times like this that I am so relieved that the Internet Archive Wayback Machine was created. Yes, you can still download a copy of Bridge2Symmetric, but it won't work without the license, which you have to buy:
Bridge2Symmetric home page

I didn't say this, but it's Java so you can easily hack it... :rolleyes:

Just checked my old computer and find a working copy of Bridge2symmetric. :<)

I have used HCS System Notebook for several of my systems, since it prints hand records for specific sequences.
Ultra ♣ Relay: see Daniel's web page: https://bridgewithda...19/07/Ultra.pdf
C3: Copious Canape Club is still my favorite system. (Ultra upgraded, PM for notes)

Santa Fe Precision ♣ published 8/19. TOP3 published 11/20. Magic experiment (Science Modernized) with Lenzo. 2020: Jan Eric Larsson's Cottontail ♣. 2020. BFUN (Bridge For the UNbalanced) 2021: Weiss Simplified ♣ (Canape & Relay). 2022: Canary ♣ Modernized, 2023-4: KOK Canape.
