Do they have a chess team?
The chair of the St. Cloud Computer Science Dept., Professor Sarnath Ramnath obtained his PhD in my department at Buffalo, and I knew him well. Moreover I am using a survey paper on statistical tests for pseudo-random bit generators co-authored by one of their math faculty and students, in my current graduate seminar.
Salutations to kwregan especially if he is the great chess player I used to see in NYC back in the 1972 to 1978 era tournaments at McAlpin Hotel, etc. I was just an A player and enjoyed watching your games.
Say, thanks! Yes I am that kid. I went into mathematical computer science, and was away from chess entirely while focused on endeavors like trying to solve the famous “P versus NP Problem” using algebraic geometry. But the Topalov-Kramnik events collided my math and chess worlds back together. See my professional home page and CS+chess links from there. My parents whom you may remember too are still well and living in Paramus, NJ.
I hope everybody has fun at this event
