Kaplan–Rubens CCCC (“Four C’s”) hand evaluation

This is the algorithmic evaluation by Edgar Kaplan and Jeff Rubens from The Bridge World, October 1982, implemented after the 26-step description reproduced by Richard Pavlicek. Scores range from −0.50 to 35.60 in steps of 0.05 on a scale comparable to HCP (mean 10.77).

CCCC weighs honor placement together with shape, which makes it particularly accurate for suit contracts. Prefer FIFTHS when evaluating toward notrump, especially 3NT.
