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. When that happens, like it did a couple times
recently, you can find it as 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
surpassed 2,200 master points. He blogs about his progress toward Gold Life
Master (2,500 points) and other bridge adventures here.
