Besides the 'usual' random shuffled play you can choose with B-Bridge for several playing modes. There are three ways to use B-Bridge the 'usual' random shuffled play, tournamentbridge and duplicate bridge.

 The 'usual' random shuffled play
The computer shuffles randomly a play or you put in a play that puzzles you before. Commonly you play the south-hand and the computer plays north (your partner) , east and west. Afterwards you played the game, the computer compute the score you had to make based on the distribution of high card points. You can also ask the computer to compute the maximum score you could achieve based on double dummy play.

Tournamentbridge 
Tournamentbridge gives you the opportunity to play tournaments earlier played by humans. You can compare your score with the score the human players scored. There are  ten tournaments shipped with the CD-version.

Duplicatebridge 
Duplicatebridge gives you the opportunity to compete with the computer in a series of plays. Plays that are either randomly shuffled by the computer, put in by you or taken from the collection of plays that are shipped with the CD-version. The plays are first played by you face down and after that by the computer face up so you can see what's the computer is doing.. The decisions of the computer are based on face down. 

The computer can be tuned in three playing-levels and double dummy.

The proof of the pudding is eating it. Try the demo.
