Hello chess.com, Acepong here with an interesting topic. Do you think that chess should be considered a sport? Do you think that something that is mentally strong should be considered an actual sport? From my experience, chess is like a sport. The longest game I have ever played was close to 2 hours long and when I was done, I was tired, my face was red and I was sweating. Give me your thoughts people. Play strong everyone.
