Description
Originating from Denmark, Kare Gjaldbaek is our next guest. Kare is currently pursuing a PhD in mathematics. This coupled with the fact that he has new children to take care of means he is forced to take a hiatus from bridge. But once life calms down for him, he plans on “returning to the bridge scene with a vengeance.” Similarly to our previous guest, Bart Bramley, Kare has interesting stories to share. Unlike Bramley though, Kare has more …. wild stories to tell. One particular narrative involves a combination of alcohol and late-adolescence hormones, leading to a lack of clothing in adverse locations. Reflected by a feisty and jolly personality, Kare effectively demonstrates the thrills and vicissitudes of junior bridge. Highlights from Episode: 3:50- What Kare misses about playing bridge 6:30- Difficulties that prevent Kare from playing in tournaments 8:00- Kare’s best accomplishments in grand events 9:20- Kare’s story about swimming naked in public 10:30- Another story of dubious-teenage-actions 17:30- A hilarious story about teaching bridge 26:40- Kare’s best bridge advice 35:40- Kare’s reason for not asking about his teammates’ results 49:00- Kare’s thoughts on leaving his math career to pursue professional bridge 53:10- A bridge lesson that Kare learned from Bart Bramley 1:13:40- How bridge should be taught
