This Fireside Hand Generator will produce hands for
a multitude of purposes. By simply hitting the "Deal Hand",
"Deal Hands" or "Next Hand" button
you can cycle through as many randomly dealt boards as you wish. But wait! In case you see a particularly
interesting board that you'd like to have emailed to you, be sure to enter your email address (above) before
hitting "Deal Hand" or "Deal Hands".
_____
Would you like a set of randomly dealt complete boards emailed
to you? Easy. Just change "No"
in the selection line "Please email me a batch of boards"
to 12, 24, 36 or 48.
Enter your email address and hit the "Deal Hands" button
above. Wait a few minutes and then check your email.
_____
How would you like a set of individual South hands emailed to you
with their North counterparts emailed to Partner? In this way the two
of you can bid the hands via ICQ, Internet Messenger, on the phone or at
a hidden table. Just change "No"
in the selection line "Please email my partner (North) and me (South) a batch of hands"
to 12, 24, 36 or 48.
Enter your email address and your partner's email address. Then hit the "Deal Hands" button
above. You will receive the South hands, Partner the North ones. Both of you will also
receive the complete hand records in a separate "ANSWERS" email (open this only after bidding the hands together) so that you can see how
the two of you would have done.
_____
You can also set the parameters for the hands that you would like
to see. Just change the selection option beside each suit symbol to
set the minimum and maximum number of cards in that suit for that player.
Then set the High Card Point ("HCP") limitations in the same way. For example, if you'd
like to practice your SAYC 1NT openings and responses, set the South
hand to 15-17 HCPs and each suit to 2-to-5 cards. Then proceed with cycling through the
hands or having them emailed out in batch (as above).
