Doctorate thesis on the subject of ‘Bridge: Culture, Science and Sport’ got the highest cum laude qualification for a doctorate thesis in this University.It underlines the benefits of teaching Bridge in schools and universities as a means of fulfilling the social role of the game in the formation of a person’s character. Its practice contributes to strengthening the memory and to widening the ethical and philosophical sense of life through the values of self-control, concentration, decision-making, moderation and balance, together with the discipline and rigour which are inherent to competition. |
Bridge is a means of forgetting the thousands of little irrirations of a mind over-crowded with anarchy. For bridge has a purpose, that of taking as many tricks as possible. The end is clear and very simple. But nothing in the lives of bridge-players is clean-cut, and no ends are defined. And so they retire into some orderly process, even in a game, from messy complication of their lives"
