My friend Dr. Alexey Root of UTD just posted the following:
Friday, April 17th, I attended the last UTD Chess Club meeting of the semester. I will miss the graduating seniors, pictured in this photo. Back row (left to right): IM John Bartholomew, FM Keaton Kiewra, IM Davorin Kuljasevic, IM Marko Zivanic
Front row (left to right) GM Alejandro Ramirez, WFM Lilia Doibani. All of them (except Kuljasevic) were students in my online classes. Marko Zivanic will be around next year, though, as a Computer Science graduate student and assistant coach. He was also the winner of the Steven Grubbs memorial award and scholarship. On Facebook, I have photos of the award being presented by UTD Chess Program Director Jim Stallings.
Another senior with graduate school plans is Lilia Doibani, who will matriculate at the Texas Tech law school this fall. The other seniors have important interviews this month, so I don’t want to jinx their luck by writing about those here.
Here is her chess blog on MonRoi.
Why do they move from UTD to TTU?
