There are allegedly tens of millions of members on chess.com. So we'll see what they think. So far about eight or ten people think chess is a sport. Which makes me think they are pretty much ALL here. But we'll see. I have a feeling most chess players think the same as the general population. Interesting game, but will never be a sport. 

I have a challenge for you: Search up if chess is a sport, and you will find the Olympics thinks it is. So it is. Wanna argue if the Olympics are trustworthy or not?

But it is already a sport

When I looked it up, it said it was a physical sport because it was physically demanding to keep your mind sharp and to play 7 hours.

Chess has been recognised as a sport by the International Olympic Committee since 2000. It was an event at the Asian Games in 2006 in Doha and again in Guangzhou in 2010. It is also being considered for inclusion in the Pan-American Games.
