He was coming in as a Freshman soon after I graduated, but I still got a chance to get to know him as I frequently visited my old chess team. I found Bo to be extremely friendly and passionate about chess. He has developed an outstanding reputation in the Dallas and Houston chess community over his many years of involvement.
