Cumberland Chess Club

From the Samford directory, Sep 7, 2026

The Cumberland Chess Club is a social organization aimed at promoting camaraderie with students by playing and learning the game of chess. This club will be used for social purposes only, with once a month meetings to either (1) learn new strategies or basics of chess; (2) "over-the-board" tournaments; and (3) to promote goodwill with members of the club.The main reason this Club will be formed is to bring together students who play chess. There are no expectations placed on members except to remain in good standing. There are no other requirements - a further indication of the Club's purpose to promote goodwill regardless of skill level. Chess is a game that spans generations of people from all backgrounds - this Club aims to promote this value by its formation.
