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, Google “Duplicate Bridge” plus the current Saturday date,
which should bring up a link to it on buffalonews.com, the Buffalo News website.
Sometimes
the online version does not materialize on the Buffalo News website, at least
not in a timely fashion. Worse yet, columns from previous weeks currently
cannot be accessed on the News website. But all is not lost. They are available
in an appendix to Dale Anderson’s bridge blog at http://newsdupli.blogspot.com/
The
online version contains unabridged scores and a longer list of notices.
Deadline for submission of scores and notices is Tuesday night.
* * *
A
Ruby Life Master since the ACBL
created that new ranking at the beginning of 2016, Dale Anderson recently
attained a career total of 2,350 master points. He blogs about his progress
toward Gold Life Master (2,500 points) and other bridge adventures here.
