To change the settings in the new version of Bridge Baron for Windows, you can typically navigate to the settings menu within the program. Look for options such as preferences, settings, or configuration, where you can adjust various aspects of the game such as difficulty level, display settings, and other gameplay options. If nothing is responding or moving, you may want to try restarting the program or your computer to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, you can also check the program's official website or user manual for troubleshooting tips.

I would have to unhook the IPad from my stand, and turn it up and down to use the bridge baron

Answer by Rajesh Gupta

It sounds like the orientation settings on your iPad Pro may be locked. To change this, go to Settings > General > Use Side Switch To and select either "Mute" or "Lock Rotation". This should allow you to rotate the screen orientation of Bridge Baron on your iPad Pro.

Does the forced response to a new suit concept apply to both the partner/respondent and the opening bidder during the course of bidding: assuming both have adequate point count to bid to game?
For example:

  1. opening bidder bids one heart,
  2. partner responds one spade (new suit = forcing),
  3. opener responds two clubs (new suit = forcing),
  4. partner responds two diamonds (new suit = forcing),
  5. opener responds two no trump (inviting),
  6. partner bids three no trump,
  7. The contract is made.

Does this bidding sequence accurately depict forced response as applicable to both opener and partner/respondent?

Answer by Stephen Prastman

In general, over the course of a bidding it can apply to both partners. However, in this case it doesn't:


The opener is clearly forced to respond as he cannot pass the 4th suit game forcing bid, so he has to say either 2NT or bid another suit.


However the partner / respondent isn't actually forced to respond to 2NT. He wants to respond because his bidding sequence indicates game strength, but there is no danger in passing, in case he initially overestimated his hand.


Usually, forced response is a term used for bids you can't pass because you're in trouble if you end up playing them, like 2 hearts in your example.


I guess I should also tell you that in your bidding sequence two diamonds isn't a simple forcing; it's called 4th forcing and signifies game strength forcing. With that in mind, 2NT shouldn't be inviting, since you've already established game strength. Instead, it should indicate a somewhat even distribution, hopefully with values in the 4th suit and a hand that isn't really capable of going for a slam.

To address the issue of the Bridge Baron version using the full screen on your iPhone 15Pro, preventing you from reading the upper line, you can try adjusting the display settings on your phone. This may involve changing the screen resolution, adjusting the font size, or enabling a feature that allows you to scroll or zoom in on the screen. You can also reach out to the developer of Bridge Baron for help or look for any available updates or patches that may address this issue.

Answer by Alex Urbach

The PC version of the software offers a section called Settings where you can adjust various Speed related options. However, I've checked the description and the help documents for the iPad version, but I didn't find anything related to your inquiry which means this feature might be missing from the mobile platform.


You should also check the Settings menu in the iPad version and then get in touch with the developers using the following link: http://greatgameproducts.helpdeskconnect.com/
