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 is closing in on a career total of 2,000 master points. He’s also crossed
over into one of the ACBL’s newly-minted master point ranks – Ruby Life Master,
for those with more than 1,500 points. He blogs about his progress toward Gold
Life Master (2,500 points) and other bridge adventures here.
