Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the intellectual and social values of card games such as Whist and Chess. The author argues that games with incomplete information like Whist are essentially unknowable, therefore have a greater value than a game like Chess, where the optimal move can be calculated based on available information. The author claims that the social aspect of Whist is more fulfilling than that of Chess because it fosters qualities such as observation, memory, and patience necessary for navigating the affairs of life. The author argues that these qualities are lacking from Chess, which excites too much interest. However, the author does not believe chance should play too great a role in games, as is the case with Whist. Overall, the author highlights the intellectual, social, and recreational depth of card games and concludes that they are a worthwhile pastime that can offer players a variety of benefits.
