No it won't be, and won't happen for the forseeable future (thankfully)
Could you post a link to a website on the forum about chess being included in the 2020 Olympics. I could not find anything confirming its in the 2020 Olympics.

That is what I got!
The Olympics is for important sports, like running and cycling in small circles, swimming and making jerky arm motions with tons of makeup on, twirling ribbons, sweeping with brooms really fast, putting on jodphurs and looking serious while sitting on horses who prance and jump, and tossing heavy metal balls and discs.

The Olympic committee considers Chess a sport. Why would does the Olympic committee consider chess a sport if they won't let it in the Olympics?
Chess world is trying to get chess in the 2024 Paris games, but it appears that they have been declined.

Well Chess is a BOARD GAME and they don't allow board games in the olymics.
With the way most people view Olympic sports,Tiddlywinks would be more acceptable than chess for the Olympics.
The Olympics only had physical sports, so no board game.
I think of the Olympics for the most popular sports. 600-800 million people play chess in the world. Chess is a very popular sport and is considered a sport by the International Olympic committee. I think chess is probably more mentally and physically enduring than some of the sports already in the Olympics.
"The International Olympic Committee has recognized chess as a sport. While this acknowledgement falls shy of recognition as an "Olympic Sport" which would merit inclusion in the Games, it is an acknowledgement of the sport-like properties inherent in chess"
If the Olympic committee considers Chess a sport why is it not in the Olympics?
