Sun Tzu argued the mental and physical aspects cannot function independently. The emphasis seems to be on integrating both mental and physical preparedness for effective strategy, rather than claiming one cannot work without the other
it doesn't really matter if it's a sport or not, it still is a mental competition which has most of the conpetitive features of a normal sport, besifes, thats why we have the term mental sport
Topic titled : "How do I defend the arguement that chess is a sport?"

It takes no athleticism or basically no movement at all its also played on a board like a game.
sports are games, just with varying complexity, so think of chess as the most complex sport of all. BTW it requires mental athleticism and you move your hands, just like in golf where you just move your arms.
mental athleticism isn't a thing that's being smart and strategic bruh ur cappin

Some people like to think it's a sport because it makes them feel good, since chess is supposed to be a nerdy thing. The idea that chess is a sport is similar to the idea that making rice puddings is a sport. If you think making rice puddings or baking bread is a sport then you'll be comfortable with the idea that chess is also a sport.
this quote is so real tho as well
And also in golf, you have to actually tense your muscles and work them. In chess you do not. Also, outside the golf course, golf players work out o that they can have more strength on their drive. Chess players do not need to do this to move tiny chess pieces on a board. CHESS ISNT A SPORT!

Psychobabble is a form of communication, but a poor one. It usually says more about the one spouting it.
The notion that anyone who considers chess a sport must be hoping to gain something tangible from the recognition is only slightly less absurd than the suggestion that anyone opposed to the assertion lacks imagination.

But you have to admit sports are a lot more popular and profitable than board games. So those are two prime suspects. It's not likely some people feel chess is a sport just for the fun of it. People are motivated by things that they feel benefit them. It seems MUCH more likely that the "chess is a sport" people hope to gain something tangible rather than doing it for non tangible reasons.
Yes, staying constructive and mindful of others and kind in conversations. This is no Zoo
De-escalation in a argument is also to be considered civilized, lol

I know that Ziryab is a chess coach for young people and that therefore he stands to gain financially by quite a lot, the more chess is recognised as a sport. That is so obvious that it's no wonder he tries to protect himself. It's only a discussion, however. This is a Chess forum and people should be able to put forward their honest opinion, without being attacked because of it. This is not Russia or North Korea.
I knew it was a He, and also those that Overlord talk here as you say in other words made me guess.

Stuck at the age of 14. In order to "dispose of" an honest opinion, perhaps it can be characterised as something reprehensible and also false and meaningless ... in this case, "psychobabble", which sounds like such a horrible thing, it can't fail to win any argument. Imagine winning an argument with one word! A politician's tactic.
The moral argument is interesting. Is it justified to try to use any means, perhaps including dishonesty, to win an argument, on the theory that it will profit more people in the long run, since that might result in more children being taught chess?
One might ask "who would we WANT teaching kids?" That was philosobabble, of course. Or maybe moralbabble, which is also totally reprehensible and meaningless.
You have a point.

Chess has no physical movements whatsoever. There isn't anything but brain inn it. It does take skill, but that doesn't mean that it's a sport.
