Is chess a sport?

Yes, chess is a sport.
poker is also a sport! so what
Maybe poker is not a physical sport, but a small number of people consider it a mental sport because it involves skill in playing.
maybe not all skills can be considered sports

First, one needs to define what is a sport, then one can address whether or not chess meets the criteria. Without an unequivocal definition of sport, the question cannot be answered. Terms like "E-Sport" or "Mental Sport" or "Mind Sport" have no meaning; they are like the term "alternative medicine", 'if it works its medicine, if it doesn't its quackery, there is no "alternative medicine", just medicine.
