In 1995, Ed Marzo (Dealmaster founder), a social bridge player, recognized the need for a computer program to enable the building and maintaining of a professional database with information about bridge deals. This would make possible the entering, annotating and classifying data about a deal and permit easy retrieval and printing a variety of forms. An associated deal generator was envisioned.
Dealmaster Pro's Simulator provides principal functions not available in its Deal Generator. It is powerful and versatile and enables players and teachers to generate deals to virtually any specifications for bidding practice and convention analysis. Generated deals can be analyzed by the included Deep Finesse function for unique statistical summaries of trick taking potential and best opening leads.
