This book is dedicated to those who play chess for many years. Where would we be without opponents? Few people know their names. Who influenced you to play chess? Someone with a passion for chess taught you how to play. Maybe a teacher or club player encouraged you. Ray Haines took up the challenge and kept playing.The author writes: I met Ray Haines at a tournament in Orono, Maine during the winter of early 1972. Boris Spassky was the World Champion. Bobby Fischer would change that before the year ended. George Cunningham and Gerry Dullea organized a Saturday state high school championship my senior year. Ray Haines was a polite kid whom I defeated on my way to my score of 3-1-1.Later my parents moved to the home town of Ray Haines When I came home for the holidays, Ray Haines connected with me. We played chess at each other's homes once a week for over a year or two. Ray kept getting better. This forced me to improve if I didn't want to lose to him all the time. We pushed each other to get better because we loved the game. We encouraged each other and rooted for each other. It worked Ray Haines and I have maintained our friendship. I wrote this book in honor of our long friendship. I hope you enjoy the book.
