Bridge Politics

V N Ramamoorthy

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Prima facie, there is nothing in common between Politics and Bridge per se.

But take another look

For example, you have the vocabulary, maybe. There exist "Major(ity)", " Minor(ity)", Splits, percentage plays, cashing of tricks or votes, deceptive moves and leads, transfer of "Suit" cases et al.

Unity in diversity is a good formula for both bridge and politics!

Mahagatbandhan may be a non- starter in political strategy. But it works well when it comes to TTT ( Teaching To Teach) initiative in Bridge.

There may not exist CPM or BJP in Bridge. But CMP ( Common minimum program) and Bridge Janata Promotion do ✌

You need to have " finesse" to be successful in both. And "Strip - squeeze", divide & rule, elimination throw ins and splinters work magic in both 🙃

A basic tenet for both politicians and bridge players is " One-upmanship "!

You may not have a flag or symbol for bridge. But you certainly need a manifesto of system and strategy 😌

2024 is approaching fast - let us unanimously cast our votes for - Bridge!

Happy bridging ,

VNR
