I do not believe that this is the case, perhaps you are trying to make the underlying point that chess is artistic, and this is a valid point indeed. However, someone earlier commented that anything may be perceived artistically, so it means little to say that chess is artistic.

If you ask me, CHESS IS WAR Yell! YEEAAAAARRGHHH 

 

Yell

No for me. I've heard it before, but I just don't see art this way. Art is made with a different purpose than a game of chess is played with. The carving of chess sets is most certainly art, but not chess itself-the players aren't doing it to create something artistic.

Yes, because Chess is a battle of ideas. Like Josh Waitzkin said in his book "The Art of Learning", Chess is a game that expresses you.

I love chess, but If we shall call chess art, i think many(or all) other "sports" or activities should be allowed to call themself art.

Yes.

No. I know perhaps a hundred chess players, but the only artist among them is crap at chess.

I agree with this.  If chess isn't an art, then how can one have a "style"?  There are attackers, positional players, counter attackers, and brilliant endgame players.  If chess has no art, than how can it have style?

Art also pertains to artisans- dont get too bogged down in semantics, people
