[@ramkumarg9074]

Wonderful Sunil.. From a chess player to Bridge. Well spoken..The Magical finish too

[@pmagrath1]

Brilliant. I am forwarding this to my 60 member club, some of whom think bridge is just an amusement.

[@aparnahari4840]

Just finished attending the Mastermind Bridge Course conducted by Mr. Sunil Varghese and team. It was a great introduction to this wonderful game! Will recommend the course to anyone wanting to learn Bridge from basics :)

[@johnparinellojr.2035]

This guy is a grand slam redoubled in compassion.

[@sunsamvar]

[@johnparinellojr.2035]

Sunil Varghese Your very welcome sir.

[@marktwain368]

As a professor of Interpersonal Communication, I have to agree with Sunil and his analysis of the benefits of Bridge. Marvellous talk, Sunil--thank you!!

[@sunsamvar]

thanks Mark. Missed ur compliment. Thanks and HNY TO u

[@kalyanaramansundar1974]

Mr. Sunil, it was an excellent presentation. I am a bridge player. Can't agree with you more. I always look at an opportunity to play bridge even when traveling, enabling me make new friends. It's an addictive and a brilliant game. You have highlighted it brilliantly.

[@sunsamvar]

thanks Sundar. do spread the word around and make new bridge friends.

[@kumarvijaya7092]

Sunil just brilliant . I could see only today your latest address on bridge . Your ability to drive people to the cause , your command over the language and your conveying style is JUST BRILLIANT.Hearty congrats

[@sunsamvar]

thanks Vijaya . high praise indeed. do spread the word around

[@braker268]

never knew Bridge was that good! Excellent talk with a magical ending!

[@manuaryan37]

A brilliant introduction to the game of bridge and a tempting challenge and invitation to all those who have experienced the thrill of matching wits against one another and ridden high on the euphoria of having outwitted an opponent in a game fiercely fought with intellect, patience, logic, sharpness of mind, strategies and precise execution. I for one, had hitherto held the belief that chess was the ultimate game. After listening to Mr. Sunil Varghese, I’m thinking of finding someone who would help me learn to take baby steps in bridge.

[@sunsamvar]

Thanks Mathews. we are having beginers classes in May Mathews. Feel free to come and experience the magic.

[@jamesjoseph9817]

Very well articulated Sunil - enjoyed the talk very much.

[@geeyem]

Excellent presentation,Sunil.

[@jimgriffin96]

Nice talk Sunil! I , too, switched from Chess to Bridge at a young age...

[@sunsamvar]

After this, many have admitted to dropping Chees for Bridge

[@NSajeethPhilip]

Great player with a piece of great advice to the public that all that's important is to invest in converting information into knowledge. In the end, he performs a mindblowing magic performance to tell us that opinion can be manipulated too if one has the skill to modulate recommendations accordingly! A classic demo to prove that opinions also ave some statistical significance and it is never random.

[@sunsamvar]

Thanks bro and all the best for your pioneering efforts to promote a Scientific mindset among the Youth

[@vikrammgokhale]

[@kcbalasubramanian7247]

Great game and a matching great speech. Well done Sunil

[@endthisnonsense7202]

Being an avid bridge player and being good at it, I can only state "Go is the ultimate mind game". What draws players of other mind games (like chess) into bridge is the fact it is a team-sport adding social aspects to it.

[@visakhcet]

Great Talk..Inspiring to hear about how bridge can be more than just a game. We shall invite you for a talk to inspire startups with magic and bridge.

13:27 Interesting how people in South Asia (India, Japn, China etc) shuffle cards this way, commonly called a Hindu Shuffle or an Arab Shuffle. While most people in western countries shuffle very differently. Usually the standard overhand shuffle.

[@apreil4821]

I was watching a Parihs montage - She plays bridge duels on hypixel Minecraft and I just couldn’t resist clicking this video even though it’s basically unrelated.

[@paulmaier6305]

if i had a kid to bring up, i would teach it bridge, poker, fibonacci and let the rest just "happen" with that foundation.

[@GARDENER43]

Try yugioh.....

[@aprayingatheist2378]

Let me disagree on the entertaining aspect as well as the extraspecial wisdom of bridge. Bid Whist is definitely greater for it allows the upside down seniority of cards. Preferans is greater for it allows to play misere. Certainly, there's a lot of analysis involved. But, man, so is in the classic card game of piquet where there're such curious situations possible (with only 2 players, no trumps, no bidding) you can't imagine in bridge, at all. Bridge of any kind sure fits great for businessmen. Does it make it the greatest game? NO!

[@sunsamvar]

Bridge is developed from whist and to that extent being more modern, should be more challenging ( tho i must admit i dont play whist)... and individual games are individual games that does not test or improve a persons partnership and team skills

[@biseyler2006]

Or a gender activist 😂😂
