There’s professional tiddlywink players. I’m assuming chess would be well considered a sport if that’s the case.

Quite right. It's a game. It isn't a sport. Sports generally involve running and physical exertion.

If chess is a sport then so is tiddly-winks and going shopping.

So some of us agree some don't but l generally think chess does not classify under the sports category you guys let me know what you guys think and also respond to my other blogs and peace out.

Well it can be a e-sport just not a physical sport.

Yeh it should classify with video games because there like both games and share strategy and non physical aspects accept moving the pieces and taking a sip of your water.

Chess is a sport because it is a fight between two players. Chess can also be considered just a game, or even a video game. Something is what it is because people think it is what it is.

In my opinion chess is an art instead of sport

open for endless debate, no final answer although Chess is not at the Olympic games, so it is not yet acknowledged as a sport
