Congratulations, Ray!

This is no surprise to me, since Ray had me busted up in a critical game the
last time we met.  Somehow I survived and was promoted to 2 dan.  I always
felt that either I didn't deserve to be 2 dan or Ray DID deserve to be 2
dan.  Now he and I can both feel better!

BTW Larry, if Ray makes 4 dan, he would be a master at both chess AND shogi,
like his dad.  Would that be a record of some sort?

Cheers,
