I honestly don't think chess is a sport. It's one of the best games and a real good time-killer, but it isn't a sport. It could be a career path, or a hobby, but from my personal perspective, it doesn't really fit the term "sport."Â

Thank you for this. I completely agree that chess is a sport and it’s extremely frustrating when people deny it.

chess is a sport. I want to see u without food/rest for five hours straight, using your brain all the time. calculating variations, seeing tactics, etc. you get really exhausted after that. chess is a sport - something so wonderful and amazing and brilliant that I can't describe with words. I devote my life to chess - I am in awe of the entire game, the concept of tactics, tactics themselves, openings, endgames, brilliances, blunders - everything. I love it all

If chess is a sport, simply because it raises your heart rate and causes you to focus intensely for hours, then a lot of other board games and card games are the same.
Exactly, chess isn't a sport.

You really just said that thinking it was a smart point.
