Chess has a long history in Missouri, dating back to the 19th century. Some of the early chess clubs in Missouri include the St. Louis Chess Club, the Kansas City Chess Club, and the Missouri Chess Association.
The St. Louis Chess Club, founded in 1857, is one of the oldest chess clubs in Missouri. It holds regular meetings and tournaments for its members.
