| | Chess at UMBC by Dr. Alan T. Sherman |
 | | Club activities include weekly meetings, coaching sessions, chess courses, tournaments, team competitions, simultaneous exhibitions, lectures, exhibition matches, an annual student vs. faculty match, special events, community outreach, and a summer chess camp for students entering grades 5-12. |
 | | In 1996, we hosted an exhibition match between GM Ilya Smirin and 1995 Maryland Champion William "The Exterminator" Morrison (complete with sports commentary and video closeups of the players); we also hosted the Pan-Am (CL, Nov. 96). |
 | | Our next goal was to arrange a timed simultaneous exhibition against World Champion Garry Kasparov, as had been done in 1994 by the winning BMCC team. |
