I think it is both cause everything you say about chess is a chess match and you can play online like @chess.com and it is a game!

It's a game if you play someone once and a match if you play them more than once.

The definition of a game is: "a form of play or sport, especially a competitive one played according to rules and decided by skill, strength, or luck."

The definition of a match is: "a contest in which people or teams compete against each other in a particular sport."

If you're playing chess against someone, then it's a match. If you're just talking about it, chess is a game.

Playing: match, not playing: game

The term "match" is usually reserved for a series of games played between two players. Each individual contest is a "game." Fro example, you would refer to "Game 6 of the 1972 Fischer - Spassky match"
