Also i dont think a person whose highest elo is 556 should be talking about how great the game is.

Brother reached the thousands and now thinks anyone below him in rating can't have an opinion or enjoy the game they both play, even though everyone here is currently on their own path in their chess journey, low or high elo.

It is best sport. It exercises the mind.

If you call sitting on your behind and moving little wooden figures with your fingers a sport, then sure. I always thought sports were the kind of activities that make you sweat though.

Correct, because I don’t play ping pong.

But looking at the best players playing ping pong, they sure do sweat and move a lot. Go try play a real ping pong player. You will lose real fast and sweat while losing.

You do if you do it right.

I go play ice hockey (or pond hockey) in the winter when it’s -10 celcius, with only a T-shirt and a hoodie, some jeans and long johns and I sweat. Just the fact that it’s cold outside doesn’t mean one does not sweat. Have you actually ever tried skiing?

Of course you can do it sloppy and not sweat too much, but do it proper and you’ll surely sweat.

This I believe, because chess is not a sport.
