I agree w/ basixTheSwexy

It depends on how you choose to play it , if you play professionally and with effort it becomes a sport .

Lemme give you an example to prove you wrong. If I play roblox with passion does it become a sport? No.

Chess is a sport

It is just not part of the Olympics search it up(hint sport)

"Chess is considered a sport. It is described as an "abstract strategy game" and a "mind sport" that involves no hidden information and no elements of chance."

Completely worth it to resurrect a 11-year-old dead thread just for this mediocre pun.

definitely a game

casual playing is a game,professional is a sport,and tournaments are e-sports

Yes, for me, chess is a game.

If throwing a stick with a piece of ribbon attached to it while jumping around getting hot and sweaty is a sport then surely moving little sticks ( ok ...pieces) around PROVIDING you get hot and sweaty ....it's a sport.

It's a game. It will never be a sport. No athletic ability involved.

I looked it up on google and the Olympics consider it a sport which makes me want to sue them for fraud but whatever

Lol

Those are considered sports?

If chess is not a sport, then why do so many whine about the lack of sportsmanship in chess?

Chess is both a sport and a game.
It is also a pasttime and a social activity.
And like many popular activities it is many things.
