A a bit of history about our name: The Springfield Park Board Chess Club of Springfield, Missouri was established in 1972 by faculty members of Southwest Missouri State and Springfield News-Leader. Our relationship with the Springfield-Greene County Park Board is in name only. The Park Board, before it added Greene County to its name, allowed the Club use of various Park facilities. And while the Park Board has changed its name, our United States Chess Federation affiliate name remains Springfield Park Board Chess Club. At one time the Club's name was the YMCA Chess Club, but that was short lived.
