Humans play Bridge better than computers

Surprising for me.
I thought computers would win, but agree with the reasons why not.
I'm a bridge player

........... The reason computers excel at chess but struggle with bridge is twofold, says Fantun. Firstly, bridge is a very social game that can involve both collaboration and deceit. Secondly, it has an element of mystery.

For example, in chess or Go, the game is one-on-one, and both players can see everything on the board. There are no secrets.

But in bridge, your opponents can work together against you, and you can't see their cards. That makes it hard for an algorithm to make predictions about its opponent's next move. ............
