bids and plays the same hand in Autoplay
Mode, with the computer playing all four
hands.
c. Computer Peeks
[Level Menu Item: 123456789TP
]
This unique level, displayed as P for
computer Peeks, is also a Team of
Four Level. Here, the computer is given a
distinct advantage, in that it's allowed to
"see" game information that it would not
ordinarily be able to access! This level can
come in handy for those of you who find that
you're beating the computer once too often.
Try out Level P, and you'll definitely have to
work harder to win! Don't worry, though,
about giving up too much power- the
computer is fairly reasonable about peeking,
and uses only some of the available
information to gain an advantage.
Note, also, that the advantage the computer
gains is more significant in defensive play
than in bidding or declarer play. You can also
rest assured that the computer will never
peek on any other level!

2.5 Bidding Systems*
[Main Menu Item: PGSIBLR]
The Pro Bridge 311 is set to the American
Standard 5-card major for both North/South
and East/West. We hope to further enhance
the feature, as described below, in future
version of the product.
Your computer offers various bidding systems
for both North/South and East/West:
American Standard, Acol, French Standard,
and French Strong Two. Note that the
computer defaults to the American Standard
on start-up. For more information on the
bidding systems, see Appendix A.
REMEMBER:
SELECT OPTIONS, THEN PLAY!
Since pressing ESCAPE during the bidding
or playing phase will terminate your current
hand, make sure to select all your options
before starting to play!
