I didn't see or hear that IOC considered that chess is a sport. Chess is still a game and never a sport.

I believe there is some part of the IOC that considers chess as a sport. Although this is highly suspect as poetry, architecture, and other interesting pastimes were in the Olympics. I guess that's why it's called the Olympic GAMES, and not sports. I think people who use the IOC as some sort of authority on sports do not understand that 1 )it's in no way any authority, and 2) it undermines their own argument.

The IOC is one of the reasons people use to say chess is NOT a sport.

Okay, I agreed with you.
