Iver created some hands using bbo dealer, so they are saved in "my hand folders" is there a way to export them in a batch as a lin files ?

I didnt play them and unfortunatly they have all the same board number. It seems all i can do is export them one by one.

Hi ! I have a problem. I want to generate boards with this conditions:
N: 11-22PC, 5+♥
S: 3-6PC, 3-4♥ OR 7-11PC, <4♠ AND <3♥

OR

N: 11-22PC, 5+♠
S: 3-6PC, 3-4♠ OR 7-11PC, <3♠

This is my code :

produce 50
dealer north
1h = ( hcp(north)>=11 && hcp(north)<=22 && hearts(north)>=5 )
1s = ( hcp(north)>=11 && hcp(north)<=22 && spades(north)>=5 )
1nAh =  (hcp(south)>=3 && hcp(south)<=6 && hearts(south)>=3 && hearts(south)<=4)
|| (hcp(south)>=7 && hcp(south)<=11 && hearts(south)<3 && spades(south)<4)
1nAs = (hcp(south)>=3 && hcp(south)<=6 && spades(south)>=3 && spades(south)<=4)
|| (hcp(south)>=7 && hcp(south)<=11 && spades(south)<3)
condition 1h && 1nAh || 1s && 1nAs
action 
printpbn

What's wrong here ?

Dunno. Maybe variable names. Try...

produce 50

n1 = ( hcp(north)>=11 && hcp(north)<=22 && hearts(north)>=5 )
n2 = ( hcp(north)>=11 && hcp(north)<=22 && spades(north)>=5 )

|| (hcp(south)>=7 && hcp(south)<=11 && hearts(south)<3 && spades(south)<4)
s2 = (hcp(south)>=3 && hcp(south)<=6 && spades(south)>=3 && spades(south)<=4)

condition n1 && s1 || n2 && s2

I played around with this earlier, including the variable name suggestion above. I am a bit puzzled. I would see if you can get each type to work separately. Once you get each to work, then try combining. If you have trouble with each, continue to narrow it down.

I think I posted this in the wrong area so posting here now:

Hi. Can someone help me by providing scripts for random Preempt and weak two hands for practicing? I see a couple that has specific for leaping Michael's, takeout, etc... But I'd like totally random if possible..
Thank you!!

Is there a command that allows me to define HCP for two hands combined? For example, HCP (north+south) <23 and >17?

This works better on BBO (not sure about dealer generally): (hcp(north)+hcp(south)>17) and (hcp(north)+hcp(south)<23)

This thread is for summarising the verified user-created scripts to Dealer, the deal generator used by web BBO. You can use Dealer for bidding or teaching table practise with web BBO.

In order to use the scripts, just copy/paste the relevant scripts when using new BBO's bidding/teaching table DEAL SOURCE ADVANCED Option.

Hi everybody,
I am trying to generate hands to practise 2♣️ Gazzilli bidding.
I have created the hands I need thus:
shape(north, 55xx) && (hcp(north)>=14 && hcp(north)<=20)) or
(shape(north, 65xx) && hcp(north)>=17) or
(shape(north, 56xx) && hcp(north)>=17) or
(shape(north, 54xx) && hcp(north)>=11) or
(shape(north, 5x4x) && hcp(north)>=17) or
(shape(north, 5x5x) && hcp(north)>=17) or
(shape(north, 5x4x) && hcp(north)>=11) or
(shape(north, 5xx4) && hcp(north)>=11) or
(shape(north, 5xx5) && hcp(north)>=11) or
(shape(north, x54x) && hcp(north)>=17) or
(shape(north, x55x) && hcp(north)>=17) or
(shape(north, x5x4) && hcp(north)>=11) or
(shape(north, x5x5) && hcp(north)>=11)
Now I need the following conditions.
1) when opener bids 1H (5/6♥️max5♠️max5♦️max♣️), responder bids 1S (max2♥️4-6♠️max5♦️max5♣️, hcp range 4+) or 1NT (max2♥️max3♠️max5♦️max5♣️, hcp range 4-10)
2) when opener bids 1S (5/6♠️max5♥️max5♦️max5♣️), responder bids 1NT (max2♠️max6❤️max5♦️max5♣️, hcp range 4-10)
Is it possible to create the appropriate syntax?
Thank you in advance,
Pietro (pgr73)

[DavidKok]

I am not sure that the hand types you presented are correct for Gazzilli. The way I understand it, a 2♣ Gazzilli rebid shows either real clubs or any strong hand. You have included some other weak hands (i.e. 5♠4♦ and 5♠4♥ with 11+ hcp) and excluded a range of strong hands (balanced, or 6(+)M).
You also excluded some hand types from the 1NT response that I would normally expect to be included (i.e. 6-10 with a weak 6cm).

Personally I would first define the openings, then define/restrict responder's rebid, then define the Gazzilli 2♣ rebid. I have a previously written script for the 1♠ opening only, it looks like this:

In chunks, the first paragraph defines North's opening bid, the second defines East's possible overcall, the third defines South's responses, the fourth defines West's possible overcalls, the fifth defines North's rebids and the last defines South's rebids (I excluded sixth hand interference - most of the time it is too risky to enter over (1♠)-P-(1NT)-P; (2♣*)-?). My Gazzilli is 16+ any or spades-clubs weak. You can tweak and/or simplify this to meet your requirements. If you want to also include 1♥ openings you can mostly reuse the code, though some of the definitions will have to be adapted. For starters, responder might have a 1♠ response rather than 1NT. But also the interference changes, i.e. spade overcalls, takeout doubles and Michaels hands in second and fourth seat.
Most of the code is superfluous for your question. I hope it helps anyway, let me know if it would be more useful if I took out the irrelevant lines.

[adriennek]

Thank you for posting these examples. This is an old thread. Does the same syntax still work on BBO?

 Gerben42, on 2010-October-30, 11:44, said:

Here are two simple scripts to make you get the feel of it:

2-level opening bids:

( hcp(north)>=22 or
(( hcp(north)>=6 and hcp(north)<=10) and
( (spades(north)==6 and hcp(north,spades)>=5) or
(hearts(north)==6 and hcp(north,hearts)>=5) or
(diamonds(north)==6 and hcp(north,diamonds)>=5 ))))

1m opening bid + simple overcall

(( hcp(north)>=11 and clubs(north)>=5 and spades(north)<=4 and hearts(north)<=4 ) or
( hcp(north)>=11 and diamonds(north)>=5 and spades(north)<=4 and hearts(north)<=4 ) or
( hcp(north)>=12 and hcp(north)<=14 and spades(north)<=4 and hearts(north)<=4 ) or

[DavidKok]

Yes, the syntax for dealer scripts has not changed (as far as I know). The only difference is that when I use the command line version I specify values or functions for the 'generate', 'produce' and 'action' key words, whereas BBO scripts require these to be removed.
