Where do you put chess and why?

For me its three of this, and I don’t know if actually someone can add another category for Chess

How about recreational activity, board game, or hobby?

Why does a hobby have to be a sport? If you collect bugs is that a sport? Who do you win against?

chess is an art and sport

No, this question has to be objective. We can't be content by just saying it is our preference to call it a sport or not. That would lose all obsession with the question and we would just use that answer for everything.

 

1. If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there, does it make a sound? Depends on the person if they want to believe it does.

2. Should you lower the toilet seat after peeing? Depends on the person if they want to believe it should be lowered.

3. Should we use chopsticks or fork and knife when ordering Chinese food? Depends on the person if they want to use chopsticks or fork and knife.

 

etc....

#8 exactly the meaning or objetive of this question its just know where do you put chess, anything else, of course for someone its a art and other just hobbie or sport, just I wanna know where the chess player put it, simple curiosity

I mean, to be a science its posible too because science had a objetive, make a question in your self and try to see if is true or false, then sport you can had a competition against some oponent and beat him/her, find some strategy or even a art just creating some on the table
