Youthful Competition
If bridge players live for one thing - it's competition. And, competition in the youth department surely is heating up!
During the recent International Mind Sports Association competition in China, Jose Damiani and Gianarrigo Rona of the WBF visited the RDFZ, a high school where bridge is being taught. Of course, in the U.S. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have been strong proponents of bridge being taught in schools. Kids at the most recent Nebraska Regional delighted in talking to Warren & Bill and hearing about why they so love our game.
Bridge education throughout the world should attract more attention for our great game - and excite future generations. Please enjoy this article on a tour of bridge in Chinese schools.
