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 reached a career total of 1,800 master
points last November. He blogs about his progress toward Gold Life Master
(2,500 points) and other bridge adventures here.
