Chess is still a competition just like basketball and other sports... and just like in sports you see the same plays run over and over. certain plays stand the test of time even when the opponent knows exactly what's coming.. for one reason, they work.. by that logic sports are as dead as chess is to certain people.. But as we all should know sport in general and team sports are alive and well much like chess.

I'm not arguing chess as a sport. I'm saying that isn't the point the OP is making here.. he doesn't call chess a sport.. so it's an irrelevant troll comment

Exactly I never even said or meant to say in anyway that chess was a sport. Troll Fail. I just meant as a game chess is not dead just like those other games/sports that people have alot of passion for. We also have a passion for our game and dont agree with people who say chess is dead.

All of a sudden disagreeing with somebody means trying to offend them.

try to remember chess has undergone many changes as well and all modern sports such as baseball are still in their infant stages compared to chess

So why isn't baseball,basketball,American football,football etc. DEAD. In chess there is still much more to solve I think and still really fun. In all the sports above all of em do the same thing over and over nothing to solve shouldn't they be dead. I don't hate sports by the way I just think its dumb when I see people saying chess is dead. So I disagree with Bobby Fischer.And most importantly it is still fun.
Physics, weather, and biology have much deeper theory than chess. The former requires godlike athletes in their prime to execute the theory in visually breathtaking ways, while the latter can be perfected by pimply-faced geeks with a free 3100-rated program.
The rules of each sport also change when theory goes awry, like when Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA in 1968 caused them to lower the mound. Even the addition of a bye week in the NFL has changed that landscape, making 16-0 seasons easier due to recovery time.
i think chess is slowly dying because of its slow pace and steep learning curve. It takes to long for beginners and viewers to understand the rules compared to the sports you mentioned.
