TUTORIAL BRIDGE 

Tutorial Bridge is now available in two editions, Tutorial Bridge I and II. With edition-I you learn the classic Standard American 5-card majors bidding system. Edition-II presents the modern Standard American Yellow Card (SAYC) system. This system is widely used in the online bridge community, and is more suitable for playing duplicate bridge then the classic system. Each edition is a separate program downloadable at learnbridge.com. The serial number that you purchase after the free 10-day trial period will work for each program. That is, if you like, you can have both programs installed on your computer for the one price. However, the 10-day trial period will expire for both programs 10 days from the time you install either program for the first time.

    NEW IN TUTORIAL BRIDGE II V5.01

Hands are now displayed properly for those screen resolutions that are wider than normal.

    FONT SIZE AND SCREEN RESOLUTION

Tutorial Bridge was designed to have a large readable text. That is why single large characters are used to represent the playing cards rather than the often barely readable crowded picture card representations used in other programs. Tutorial Bridge scales most windows and text so that everything appears to be relatively the same size regardless of the screen resolution of your display. However, some things are not controlled by Tutorial Bridge, but by the Windows Operating System. If you find that the characters displayed in 
the Menu or the Message Boxes are too small, you can adjust their font size in your computer's Control Panel/Display/Appearance/Menu or Message Boxes.

Tutorial Bridge supports screen resolutions of 800 x 600 and higher. It is not necessary to set your display Font Size to something larger than normal as Tutorial Bridge has already enlarged and scaled the text as discussed above. In fact with the XP system, at 800 x 600 resolution, and a larger than normal font size, some Tutorial Bridge screen boxes, such as Examples and Hand Summary, will not display properly. Your computer's screen resolution is at Control Panel/Display/Settings.

    WHERE TO BEGIN

It is recommended that you begin Tutorial Bridge by looking over the first few items of the Help menu, and run through the Beginner examples in the Examples menu.
 
    UNINSTALL

Do not uninstall if you plan to re-install the current or a later version of Tutorial Bridge. Uninstall will remove any data written by the program since its installation.

    USING TUTORIAL BRIDGE (TBridge)

When using Challenge Charlie, TBridge runs as a game instead of a tutorial. Also, when using dealt hands, if you go to the Options menu, and turn off: Show All, and Comments (Bid and Play); TBridge will then also run as a game.
