===Bridge===
{{Main|Contract bridge}}
[[File:Bridge declarer.jpg|thumb|right|A bridge hand being played]]
Bridge is a [[trick-taking card game]] for four players.

Bridge participation in the Computer Olympiad was largely discontinued when in 1996 the [[American Contract Bridge League]] established a new official World Computer Bridge Championship, to be run annually at a major bridge tournament.  Starting in 1999, that event is now co-sponsored by the [[World Bridge Federation]].
