The
Duplicate Bridge column is compiled weekly
by News Staff Reporter Dale Anderson. The print version normally appears in the
Life & Arts section in the Saturday edition of The Buffalo News. If it’s
not in its usual place, try the Sports section.
The
online version contains unabridged scores and a longer list of notices.
Deadline for submission of scores and notices is Tuesday night.
Sometimes
the online version does not materialize on the Buffalo News website. When that
happens, you can find it as an appendix to Dale Anderson’s bridge blog at http://newsdupli.blogspot.com/

A
Silver Life Master since 2011, Dale
Anderson finished the year with a career total of 1,954 master points. He also
discovered that the ACBL has created a new master point rank – Ruby Life
Master, for those with more than 1,500 points – and he’s in it. He blogs about
his progress toward Gold Life Master (2,500 points) and other bridge
adventures here.
