Feb-28-05    cu8sfan: What a weird name. Is this guy from Middle Africa and the little box stands for that special tongue click sound that some languages have there? (-: Feb-28-05    Bad Star: This is probably Unto Räisä. Feb-28-05    cu8sfan: <Bad Star> Do you see the 'ä' correctly? I just see a box. Feb-28-05    Bad Star: Nope. Looks like a box to me too. Feb-28-05    SBC: Unto is from Finland, I believe, boxes and all. Feb-28-05    cu8sfan: The name surely sounds Finnish. Feb-28-05    offramp: Have you tried the "Search Google® for Ris Unto" Feature? It's not very good. Feb-28-05    tpstar: To figure it out, you should think outside the box. Feb-28-05    chessgames.com: I think it's better now. We also found the spelling Raisa is used. Feb-28-05    azaris: Ugh, please do away with the 'ae's. Nobody uses them and they're just awful. Feb-28-05    chessgames.com: You're right. Feb-28-05    offramp: I wonder why he had a 30-year gap in the middle of his career? Two R Untos? Mar-01-05    sneaky pete: Unto seems to be his first name. In 1960 and 1962 he played fourth and second board for Finland in the Olympiads as <Räisä>, according to Földeák. 8 more of his games are given here as played by U Raisa.
