Yes
Is chess a sport or a game?
If it is with prize money, then I will consider it as a sport. If it is for retirees like us, it is a game to pass the time away.
Teacher- "What sports do you play, class?"
Student- "I play soccer."
Other Student- "I play basketball."
Another Student- "I play chess."
Chess is a sport.
Chess - the ocean, from which the mosquito can drink, and where the elephant can swim. (Ancient Indian proverb) :)
chess is a board game. Sport is a competitive physical activity or game. So sport can mean either your physical sport like basketball or your mental sport like poker or chess. However, it seems that many are more inclined to say sports are physical games while chess and the like are more of a any game other than physical sports.

What do you think of chess, a sport or a game? Why? Your opinion, please.
