One advantage is that it will allow for longer matches. One negative is that it requires additional programming and might stop an unprepared entrant from competing. Methods of Bidding and Play Without comparing the difficulties of programming chess to programming bridge, it is fair to say that they are very different. Chess is a game of perfect information and therefore a deterministic game. Theoretically a chess program can be developed that solves the game.
Bridge is a game of imperfect information and therefore a game of probability.
Theoretically, a bridge program can be developed, using game-theory methods, to compete perfectly . Of course, throw in bridge strategy and tactics, and we leave behind the theoretical notion of developing a perfect player. One method of bidding is to use an algorithm of coded rules. Other methods use an extensive database of bidding sequences, or pattern matching. Combinations of the above methods are also possible.
