Dec-21-04    Benzol: Bruce R Anderson Born 4th September 1948 He was New Zealand Champion 1967-68. Feb-20-07    AlanWilkinson: Bruce was also a NZ Schoolboy champion and a stalwart of the Canterbury Chess Club in Christchurch. We were good buddies as students but I haven't seen him for many years. He was a very strong player both tactically and strategically. He later took up Contract Bridge and was also NZ championship grade in that. Sep-04-08    Benzol: Happy Birthday Bruce. Sep-04-09    Benzol: Many happy returns Bruce.
