Are chess players athletes? 💨

I learned recently (from you) not to judge others' opinions nor the expressions thereof. I would remind you of that conversation and ask you to reconsider this comment in that light. 

Even if you are 1000 why should I care when you don't listen to me anyway and blabber in your whole fantasy world leaving the reality.. chess is a sport.. no fantasies created we are talking facts sir.. not false fantasies creations by you.. 

Physical exertion also took at some scenarios in chess and it could possibly be told sport.. which is true.. all these we are mentioning are facts.. we have even sent link but we know blabberers like these chess haters/gaming fans/addicts do.. just don't listen to us and blabber.. as i said read and then blabber till earth gets exploded

I’ll agree with this

Chess is an sport.. don't wanna listen nonsense about transgender.. Olympic committee tells the truth.. and i always trust them in this matter rather than random fools on internet like you.. you are old.. then why are you talking like that against chess?  

You see.. you want me to say chess is not a sport then your time wasting will pay off right lol 😂🤣  see.. basically.. fact will never get changed the committee already said it's sport bro.. i guess you all debaters/time wasters are just arguing for no reason.. you cant keep negative conclusion to facts.. chess is a sport.. why don't you all chess haters/gaming addicted/fans just read the link i a way that your whole brain will understand it? Or else kept yourselves egos to make sure that you just win this trash forum? Oof

Read the wiki links. Obviously the five first board games that were in the mind game category shouldn’t need to be mentioned but sure: go, checkers, chess, bridge and xianqi are what was originally in the mind sport official games. 

But you are correct, most esports are more physical than mind sport so it was wrong of me to include them in that category.

esports are not physical.. you are  video gamer and dont know anything about chess thats for sure... chess is an sport consisting of physical exertions.. even my link is true dont think only wikis are true

Yup this right here. Extended periods of concentration, calculation and other brain activity puts a physical strain on human body. Therefore if chess doesnt fit in the category of sports, sports must be defined with muscle activity or something idk. This is starting to sound funny, I don't know why I'm participating in this debate. It's obvious chess is different from "other" sports activities but is muscle activity the key concept for this definition?

thankfully found an smart person among these dumb chess haters.. obviously its the key concept bro and in fact chess is an sport

oh btw going to create an forum about this is chess a sport..  

soon gonna leave these dumb foums dumb people just wasting time trying to change facts lol that would  never happen 

forum* anyway i am leaving bye as i said chess is an sport.. and chess players are athletes byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

good luck blabbering till the earth gets exploded

1. Some, like any turnbased games are as physical as chess. Others, like cs or tekken, are some what more physical than chess and lastly we have some, mostly dance dance revolution, wiifit, vr and similar games where physical activity for a large part of the body is part of the interface, which could almost be called athletic or eathletics. I will use patriots question: if I call out moves and some one else is doing them for me, am I still playing chess and is it still physical for me? Because I can’t do same thing in dance dance revolution or tekken and still claim that it is i who is playing.
2. Played chess long before you was even born and now a days i play mostly chess and duolingo so nah on the whole gamer part.
3. Nope it mostly isn’t. As I said earlier, I can play chess by just telling where to move and somebody else can move for you. This is why CooloutAC think that speed chess is a sport, because players have to be quick and precise.
4. One whole year has past and I am as bad at chess as before and you still haven’t improved neither your argumentation nor your source criticism. Once again you are using blogs with obvious bias and refuse to read anything else. Even when my links would support your claim, since they talk about mind sports.

you say “video gamer” like that’s a bad thing

Well. Isn't it? Or, is bullet chess a video game?

Muscles burn fuel to create mechanical energy. The brain burns fuel to create chemical energy. So they both burn fuel and they both create energy. Why distinguish between them? What's the real question here?

You can call it or not call it whatever you choose. When fuel is burned and chemical energy is thereby created, seems to me a strong case that is is physical activity.  Burning energy is certainly physical, so I guess you're arguing that it's not an "activity".  It would follow, I suppose, that chess, then, is not an activity. 

Yes

I'll assume someone snuck onto your account to post this. You didn't really say "Olympic committee tells the truth" did you?
