Larry was a great guy - we had many, many phone conversations through the
years for testing. Fair and equitable and smart as heck. His actual
profession, not IM nor Shogi-master, but investor.

I would bet that he was doing some very interesting things to make a living
in the financial markets, mathematically, statistically.

I miss Larry!!!
