                                          JACK 6.2

                                             by Hans Kuif, Wim Heemskerk and Barry Westra

Jack was written by Hans Kuijf from the Netherlands. He started programming Jack in 2000 with one goal in mind: to create the best computer bridge program in the world, both in bidding/play  and in features. The bridge skills of World Champion Berry Westra and Dutch top-player Wim Heemskerk resulted in a program that took the top from the start, yet it is still continuously being improved.

Jack has participated in ACBL World Computer Bridge Championships where it reached the semifinals at its debut in 2000 (3rd). After another hard years work Jack won the title in 2001 and successfully defended it until 2005 (World Champion in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004). After 4 years of domination Jack's reign was broken by WBridge5 from France in the final of 2005 (2nd). Jack recaptured the title in 2006. In 2008 Jack won the Round Robin far ahead of the field but lost the final with a smaller margin. In 2009, it was Jack who reclaimed the title in a direct match against WBridge5, succesfully defending it again in 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015.
