It has been my privilege to follow its progress and watch the book take shape. A book such as this should not to be put into a beginner’s hands, but it should become a well-thumbed reference source for all players who want to improve their game.

Introduction The late Bjarne Kroepelien was a great collector of books and other printed material from the Polynesia, and specifically the Tahiti. Kroepelien stayed at Tahiti for about a year in 1918 and 1919. He was married there with a Tahitian woman. He was also adopted as a son of the chief in Papenoo, Teriieroo, and given his name. During his stay at Tahiti, the island was hit by the Spanish flu and about forty percent of the inhabitants lost their lives, among them his dear wife. Kroepelien organised the health services of the victims and the burials of the deceased, he was afterwards decorated with the French Order of Merit. He went back to Norway, but his heart was lost to Tahiti, but he chose never to return to his lost paradise, and he never remarried.

  • Analisi Probabilistica E Valutazione Della Mano Nel Gioco Del Bridge Di M Ichela Orlandi
    Analisi probabilistica e valutazione della mano nel gioco del bridge di M ichela Orlandi Premessa Per la prova finale del mio corso di Statistica e Informatica d'Azienda ho deciso di effettuare un’analisi probabilistica del gioco del Bridge, partendo dalla storia del gioco, le sue regole, lo svolgimento, il calcolo della probabilità nella distribuzione e nel gioco della carta mediante valutazione della propria mano e quella degli avversari e l'analisi della probabilità di riuscita del contratto. Ho infine descritto brevemente le biografie dei più importanti campioni del bridge del passato e di oggi, evidenziandone i collegamenti al mondo della matematica e statistica. Il bridge è uno dei giochi di carte più diffusi al mondo, conta oltre 2 milioni di agonisti e decine di milioni di appassionati, può essere praticato da chiunque a qualunque età: l'indimenticabile campione britannico Boris Shapiro (1909-2002) nel 1998 all'età di 89 anni ha vinto il Campionato del Mondo di categoria (senior) e la Coppa d’Inghilterra. Il gioco del bridge favorisce la socializzazione e l’aggregazione, costituisce uno stimolo fondamentale per i giovani, abituandoli all'osservanza delle regole, all'analisi e alla sintesi, alla deduzione , alla logica e razionalità ed è altresì elemento sussidiario per gli anziani, per i quali diviene una insostituibile palestra di esercitazione mentale. Il bridge si può quindi definire un vero e proprio sport della mente. In questa relazione verranno trattati alcuni concetti fondamentali sulla probabilità che sono alla base della struttura matematica della bridge e che un giocatore di bridge non può ignorare. Per introdurre il problema vorrei richiamare le principali definizioni di probabilità.

Before the last round today status is that in group A Donner and Black are sure to qualify, howe- ver the bottom 5 are all within reach of the last two spots. Since the teams play the other group, there is not the usual "If A beats B, then C cannot pass". No, it more resembles an IMP-race. Do- esn't that sound thrilling? In group B we sadly have to say goodbye to Robinson and Baldursson, who both have more than a 20 VP-gap to 4th place. Zhao and Fredin are comfortable, so the real battle is between Macavity, De Botton and Potter. May the cards be with you (and the kibitzers)!
