If Othello has national organizations and an international organization that codifies the rules and controls competition, then according to the IOC, yes. It is a sport.
More of a "mind fight".

The difference between sport and game is the physical aspect. Chess has no physical component, so is not a sport.
Then there are games with a physical component but not athleticism, such as bowling or billiards, which I would also say are not sports. I think participation in a sport should somehow contribute to physical fitness, and like most people on the internet, since it is my opinion, it must be correct.
if sport must involve physical fitness, why fishing is considered a sport then? it seems to me that you just have to hold your rod for hours.
You have to move pieces by hand so... yeah it's sport.
I meant chess
