also what is the definition of a sport?
an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competesagainst another or others for entertainment.
How does chess require physical exertion?
Chess demands physical exertion mainly through intense, sustained mental effort, which elevates heart rate and burns calories due to the stress of high-stakes competition and long hours of focus. While players don't run or jump, the required mental stamina and the physical stress it induces necessitate physical fitness and endurance, with some grandmasters reporting significant weight loss from prolonged tournaments.
