 The guy with the goatee is Jim Liptrap.  Jim is Mr. Chess in Houston.  He organizes and runs about ten scholastic tournaments a year, and does it better than anybody else..  He also maintains the on-line schedule of all chess events of interest to kids and their parents atchess.jliptrap.us/schedule.htm.  He's been doing chess for kids nearly twenty years. The bald guy is me. Among the coaches and chess moms and dads of Houston, I'm known as, "You know...what's his name... the Other Jim."
