I am sorry that you are trolled, but the title (Wahahaha????) is calling for it. Here are some chess facts for you: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=chess+facts

Re kaynight: it is a game, not a sport. Sport assumes some physical effort (and dont tell me that lifting a chess piece is a physical effort). Chess, like other board, computer, video and card games, is just a game, though the most fair of them all, IMO: there is no outside chance/luck involved, you see the same board as your opponent. You may argue that the white side has the tempo advantage, so it is not fair, but if you play at least two games, one as white and the other as black, against the same opponent, then it is absolutely fair.

Well, in post#2 he claimed it to be a sport. I know, it is all semantics, but if we define chess as a sport, then poker and spelling bee contests can be claimed as one too. And then (god forbid), beauty pagents may fall into the same category

An interesting fact about chess - People often argue over whether it's a sport or a game.

IF you use a board that does not fold or roll-up, you can use it like a ninja throwing star when your opponent checkmates you in an embarassing way.

Using it in this way, clearly, makes it a sport.

Another way it is a sport is trying to avoid the chessboard after you've checkmated the other person.

Chess: Often played by dyslexic cheese fans who attend a chess club by mistake.

A game may be a sport (football), and a sport may not be a game (swimming), and a game that is not a sport may be called competitive game (chess)! I hope I did not confuse everybody (or just myself?)

About a year after moving to Thailand, I was in a restaurant and saw on interesting menu item: 'Chess Omelette'.

This may or may not be based upon me, but I'll guess it is.

Actually, those pieces of cheese are really just yellow paper with holes in it that is folded to make it look like cheese. 

Also, I think you might have spelled chess wrong when you said "cheese"? 

Anyone care for a game of "Cheese" ? I'll start 1/ Knife to Cheddar Free....

It's a game complete with game-board, game-pieces & game-players. Games are termed matches & can involve club competition & tournaments, thereby making it sport.  And sports aren't always active - look at snooker or darts...

This may be a cool idea for cheese (and chocolate) makers: eatable chess sets! You play a game, and eat captured pieces. You have to have spares though, for pawn promotions and stuff...

I'd actually buy a set like that. Yum. 

You can make competition out of a lot of things that have nothing to do with sport: speed eating and drinking, distance spitting, shout matches (measured by decibel levels). My point is, that definitions are good, but we have to apply common sense (that is another vague term) when using them. A good example is politics: armed people who fight against government may be viewed as freedom fighters or terrorists - all depends on what your interests in the whole conflict are.

So is body building a sport or a game or just odd?
