Q - You play chess at a Flea Market?
A - The Westport Flea Market is a pretty cool, casual bar & grill near downtown Kansas City, Missouri. We play chess in one of their rooms. Come on down. (They give us food and drink specials, too.)

Q - Do I have to bring anything, like a chess set?
A - No, you don't have to bring anything like that. Our club provides the chess pieces, chess mats, and chess clocks (if you want to use one). Just bring a jovial spirit and your best game.

Q - Do you just play chess?
A - Yes, but we also play other chess variants like "Bughouse" and "Chess960". Other than that our club sticks to chess: skittles games, chess tournaments, and individual matches. Your games can be USCF rated or unrated. (We do *not* play other games like Checkers, Go, Poker, or Backgammon.)
