A sport is an activity or skill that requires physical exertion and has a set of rules and is usually taken competitively. You are exerting your brain when playing chess. You can’t show up to a chess tournament and beat Magnus while eating a Big Mac.

The media always refers to Tiger Woods as an athlete (for swinging a gulf club) and golf as a sport. If golf's a sport, so is chess. Players in chess tournaments can burn up to 6000 calories in a day. In golf, they don't even carry their own bags.
