Bridge as a Game.
There are two main classes of games. In games such as chess, nothing is concealed. Everyone has perfect information about the state of the game, and each player has a best strategy that costs him nothing to announce. In games without perfect information, such as bridge, to be successful a player must prevent his opponents from knowing exactly what he has. We shall use game theory to discuss this aspect of bridge. Luckily for us, both bridge and chess are much too complicated to figure out completely. Solved games, like tic-tac-toe, are not much fun. 9 pp.
