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, like it did June 25 and July 16, you can find it as an appendix to
Dale Anderson’s bridge blog at http://newsdupli.blogspot.com/
* * *
A
Silver Life Master since 2011 and a Ruby Life Master since the ACBL created that new
master point rank a little while ago, Dale Anderson blogs about his progress
toward Gold Life Master (2,500 points) and
other bridge adventures here.
