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 expects
to reach a career total of 1,900 master points within the next few weeks. He
blogs about his progress toward Gold Life Master (2,500 points) and other
bridge adventures here.
