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. Worse yet, columns from previous weeks currently cannot be accessed on
the News website. But all is not lost. They are available in 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 attained a career total of 2,300
master points. He blogs about his progress toward Gold Life Master (2,500
points) and other bridge adventures here.
