You also burn calories while playing chess due to the brain requiring glucose (a store of energy) to complete its functions i.e thinking, utilizing memory, etc. The more mentally demanding the task the more calories you burn. A lot of grandmasters physically train like a typical athlete for peak mental performance. Most sports have a mental aspect as well as a physical one.
"Physical exercise was always a key element of my chess training as world champion." - Garry Kasparov
"At 5-foot-6, Carunana has a lean frame, his legs angular and toned. He also has a packed schedule for the day: a 5-mile run, an hour of tennis, half an hour of basketball and at least an hour of swimming."
-The grandmaster diet: How to lose weight while barely move (ESPN article).
One could argue the reason most people state that chess is only a board game is due to tunnel vision or bias. Tunnel vision in that they don't understand the physical and mental demands of playing at the highest level as they can only see the world from their perspective.
Or you could argue that there is a duality of the game. At the amateur level it is a board game rife with blunders and missteps but at the master level it is a sport.
.
Honestly, this is tommyrot. Basically it's an ad hominem attack on people who don't accept that chess is a sport.

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.

Chess is a game that has been played for centuries, and its status as a sport has been a topic of much debate. While some may argue that chess is not a sport because it does not involve physical exertion, I believe that chess is indeed a sport due to the mental skills and strategic thinking required to excel in the game.
First and foremost, it is important to consider the definition of a sport. The Oxford Dictionary defines a sport as “an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.” While chess may not involve physical exertion in the traditional sense, it does require an immense amount of mental exertion. Players must use their cognitive skills, memory, and strategic thinking to outwit their opponents and make the best possible moves.
In fact, studies have shown that playing chess can increase cognitive skills, improve concentration, and enhance memory. The mental demands of chess are comparable to those of other sports, such as tennis or golf, which require participants to think quickly and strategically in order to succeed. Just like in physical sports, chess players must train and practice regularly to improve their skills and stay competitive.
Furthermore, chess is recognized as a sport by various international sports organizations, including the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Chess Federation (FIDE). The IOC recognizes chess as a sport because it meets the criteria of being a competitive, skilled activity that requires training and discipline. FIDE, the governing body of chess, organizes world championships and other competitive events that attract players from around the globe. These events are highly competitive and prestigious, with players competing for prize money and titles.
Additionally, chess tournaments are governed by strict rules and regulations, just like in any other sport. Players must adhere to a code of conduct, follow time controls, and abide by fair play guidelines. Cheating and unsportsmanlike behavior are not tolerated in the chess community, and players who violate the rules can face penalties and bans.
Moreover, chess has all the elements of a traditional sport, including competition, strategy, and skill. The competitive nature of chess tournaments, where players vie for victory and accolades, mirrors that of any athletic contest. Players must outthink and outmaneuver their opponents in order to win, using their intellect and creativity to come up with successful strategies.
Chess also requires a high level of skill and expertise to excel. Professional chess players spend years honing their craft, studying openings, endgames, and tactics in order to become masters of the game. Just like in physical sports, chess players must train diligently, analyze their games, and seek out coaching in order to reach the highest levels of competition.
In conclusion, while some may argue that chess is not a sport because it does not involve physical exertion, I believe that chess is indeed a sport due to the mental skills and strategic thinking required to excel in the game. Chess meets the criteria of being a competitive, skilled activity that requires training and discipline, and is recognized as a sport by international sports organizations. The mental demands, competitive nature, and skill level required to succeed in chess are comparable to those of other sports, making it a legitimate and respected athletic pursuit. So next time someone questions whether chess is a sport, you can confidently say yes, it is.

Dunno where the original came from but it's well written.
That's the best one can say for it. Just a bunch of bad arguments, none of which can stand scrutiny; all of which have been answered satisfactoritly WITHOUT REPLY. That is, few or none of the criticisms have been addressed.

Jared Polis, the Governor of Colorado, has been involved in discussions related to sports, particularly the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2023. This act has sparked debates about the participation of transgender athletes in women's sports, with various perspectives presented. Some argue that the act is not about protecting women's sports but rather based on faulty assumptions regarding the participation of trans women in sports1. On the other hand, the concept of amateur sports, where participants engage without remuneration, has a long history. In the 19th century, amateurism was a cherished ideal, especially among the upper classes, but it has faced challenges with the growth of professional sports and the monetization of amateurism2.Regarding the question about Quantity Surveying being governed by strict rules and regulations, therefore making it a sport, it seems to be a misinterpretation or a play on words. Quantity Surveying is a profession related to construction and project management, not a sport. The arguments presented by Jared Polis, as mentioned in the sources, do not directly relate to Quantity Surveying or sports in that context. The sources provide insights into different topics, such as transgender athletes in sports, amateurism in sports, and the role of participation trophies in youth sports, but they do not support the idea that Quantity Surveying is a sport governed by strict rules and regulations.

Yeppers, it did read rather like that. Just aeriated (English spelling!) drivel.
ok, well that search engine confirmed.
Let's say you are in a tourney, and have to use your mind at best and don't make any physical mismove or let go piece on board to fast before you tap that countdown machine timer. It is a mental sport.
In many other sports if not all, you need to think and observe as well. Beyond your physical engagements.
