@ some point you have to move a piece, no? Or you get behind.
How do I defend the arguement that chess is a sport?
Sort:
it is no sport if you don't intend 2 win.

Just open up Google, write "Is chess a sport?" and it will say yes, the just turn your phone around and put it very close to their face. BOOM! They're going to probably say"Oh, well Google is wrong" and if they say that then just say "Google is sometimes wrong, but this time it is saying the truth" BOOM! They EXPLODED out of their brain telling them chess is not a sport and Google that says chess is a sport

The first hit that comes up is from chess.com, more specifically, a blog written on the subject a few months ago. Also, the argument given for the stance that chess is a sport in that forum does not seem particularly valid.
If Poker is than Chesses.

No, in poker let's say Texas hold'm it's still up on the primary 2 cards you get that you loose your participance or continue to bet. Unlike chess.

One argument is the following.
Opinion is split over chess being a sport or not. I would think that most people would automatically assume it isn't a sport. The fact that opinion is so divided really does mean that, although some people may consider it a sport and attempt to provide reasons for it being considered a sport, it cannot generally be considered to BE a sport. That is, since the identity of chess as a sport is strongly contested, probably by very many people, we can only admit that there are people who think it's a sport and who think that it should be considered to be a sport by others too.
So chess isn't a sport YET and there's a real question as to whether it will ever be accepted as such. (..) and I don't think Wittgenstein could make such a strong argument as that.
Wittgenstein is a very good and sincere voice, dedicated. And philosophy was not a sport for him 
Wittgenstein might have said that 'sport' is a concept that is not clearly defined but works as the family of sports, and belonging is decided by looking at family resemblances- much like he claimed that it was the case for the concept of 'game'.
The original question here was 'how do I defend the argument that chess is a sport' and the philosophical argument should help to show that while it makes sense to gather pros and cons, there need not be a decision. Wittgenstein (on games): 'I reserve the right to decide in each new case whether I want to include something or not.'
I will rerun my argument from above that holding concentration is like holding a weight, and juggling balls is like keeping several chess motives afloat in a certain position.

I'm sorry but I don't think chess is a sport
sport
/spôrt/
noun
1.
an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
Here's one of the better arguments I have seen, Bobby Fischer and Larry Evans, training:

Are you suggesting that Chess is analogous to sport?
Can't believe I have to say this again:
Two things are needed for something to be a sport.
1. Competition against one or more person or group.
2. Involves at least a moderate amount of physical exertion.
Chess does have the competitive aspect but NOT the required amount of physical exertion. Therefore it is not a sport.
Chess _would_ be a sport if played on a giant board with pieces weighing 50 to 150 pounds with short time controls.
Ok, let's say.. how you gonna move those pieces? We agree is mind.
