What is Chess?

In my mind chess is a fun sport, but what is it really? I mean, we're sitting down thinking for a while and then moving bits of plastic or wood on a table. It just seems weird when you think of it from an outsiders viewpoint. What do you guys think?

You can say this about everything. Someone who doesn't like a certain sport or game will never comprehend why people like it.

Well said complainer. But the reason chess isn't a sport is because it's not physical.

Seriously. People never understand that chess is so thrilling. The only thing I hear about it is a boring game. Pity them who can't see the core of chess!
