Wait what? Wow. I thought I wrote that whole thing in like 2 mins. Yes, it was ChatGTP, but it's still true.

The intent of words are chosen by the speaker, however the meaning of those words are determined by the listener. If they believe that chess is not a sport, then that is because their definition of sport does not align with their definition of the game of chess, which in turn does not align with either your definition of sport, or your definition of chess. As such, it's unlikely to convince your classmates that chess is a sport, since that will mean different things to different people. My advice? Agree to disagree, and move on.

that was a good point of view checkmated0001

chess is definitely not a sport

It takes no athleticism or basically no movement at all its also played on a board like a game.

it's not a sport, it's a sometimes fun mental exercise

Chess is a game for all and a sport for a few. Weak casual players have no idea how draining long matches and tournaments are. Further, the physical demands of competitive chess demonstrate that after a certain level of maturity and development, the play favour younger over older players. Like sports that requirement movement, chess at the highest level demands attention to sleep and nutrition. It require not only not drinking alcohol the evening before, but over the course of the year.

Olympic chess?
