I have prepared a bridge movie of the match. I had hoped to post it here but can't find a way . If anyone wants a copy please email me privately and I'll send a zip file. At the moment there is no commentary but I will add this if members send me any bidding/play analysis. There are some useful contibutions already on the Forum - mainly from hrothgar and I will include these shortly (if Ok Richard?). I'm away on holiday for a few days from Wed so it will be next week before I can do anything re commentaries

Hi, Denis.

I would like to know how did you manage to build a bridge movie with - I suppose- the hands you got from "myhands".

I imagine it is possible with "cut and copy" and adapting some data here and there in the final file, but there may be a faster and easier way.
Did you write a program to automate it ?

TIA

Hi Erkson

I'm afraid it was a simple "cut and paste" from the data in my hands . No doubt there are better ways for those with programming skills. I was somewhat surprised in view of the publicity/promises? about Vugraph and individual hand analyses that BBO didn't produce something for the Vugraph Theatre

Hi Dennis

Regarding the promise about analysis of individual hands.
I was the one who originally made that offer.

All I can say is that it takes some time to generate content.
I'm working one this, however, I can't promise anything immediately.

I can appreciate that Richard. I think you're doing a great job so far. I hope to pull together whatever analysis posts are available when I get back from holiday and put them into my Bridge Movie. Hopefully it'll make a nice historical record. I'll convert to pbn format as well and post to the GIB discuss group

As I am sure you realize, we have software that allows
the user to create, edit, annotate, and manipulate .lin
files in various ways. This software would make it a lot
easy to create a new bridge movie of the match.

At this point in time, the "authoring software" that I am
referring to is not something that we give away for free.

It is likely that a simplified version of this tool will eventually
make its way into BBO (but perhaps not for a while).

Also, future versions of the software will include data from
both tables in the log files of team games. We are doing this
already with vugraph matches.

Hi.

Fred, I posted several messages on this forum to ask about two bugs I think I noticed in your .lin file software :
1. the vulnerability display in the upper left corner is wrong from the 5th board to the end

2. when one watches a match and with the proper configuration he gets a .lin file of it but the last board is always missing.

I may be completely wrong, but I didn't get any answer about that.

I am sorry, Fred. I was wrong, and the vulnerability display is OK.

The other problem (last board missing in log files of matches) stands.
