Sažetak
Sport Accord recognizes five mind sports: Chess, Chinese chess (Xiangqi), Draughts (Checkers), Go and Contract Bridge. In this study I compare mind sports and traditional physical sports, pointing out main similarities and differences. Furthermore, I compare contract bridge to other mind sports. Finally, I discuss main benefits of mind sports regarding their pivot role in various science disciplines, as well as their direct favorable effects on human health and cognition and psychological and social well-being.
