just a suggestion to go into the mix..I know there are at least a couple of players in BIL which are of similar age. They generally appear playing at first with a parent, and have their age on their profile. BIL members tend to be very supportive so this might be a place for you (might have to explain the situation to Maureen) to take her when ready to tackle playing with other people. Good luck
Ok, so my daughter is 10 and...

Yes.
I first took up bridge as a college freshman, and I had been playing Hearts for about 4 years before then. (My Mom is a deceptively good Hearts player and still whoops our butts when we play.) During that time, I did get good enough in Hearts to beat the standard computer opponents in Windoze on a semi-regular basis.
I tried Spades recently for a lark, when I happened to be tromping around in ESPN's online gaming room. My immediate impression of the game was that it was like "bridge for third-graders". Just go here and select a medium difficulty and your 10-year-old will get sharp in no time.
