FAQ

What is a PBN file?

A PBN file is a deal file that can be loaded into RealBridge. More details here: https://www.tistis.nl/pbn/

How do I make a PBN file?

To create your own PBN files, we highly recommend BridgeComposer (Windows).

Bridge Solver Online (All Platforms) has plenty of good functionality, however, for putting together lessons, lesson plans, BridgeComposer is more versatile.

I have a LIN file, how do I make it into a PBN file?

A useful tool is this checker and converter: http://www.rpbridge.net/cgi-bin/rpfc.pl
