Gene Pastrana, left, hosted the recently concluded and very hectic 2005-2006 Rapid Chess Championship while he is playing against Francis 'Sno' Temaungil. The nickname 'Sno' is because his white hair is as white as snow. This is from what I heard from a dad who was asked by his son "Why do you call him "Sno"?
