We forget that.
Physical sport.
Intellectual sport.
Chess is an intellectual sport.
Is basketball a sport or a game?

You're too stupid to understand the explanation and metaphor.

Basket ball is a game of putting a ball into a basket, a literal basket to carry apples and oranges.
I don't make fun of such a simple concept as compared to chess, that very simple concept is in the game of putting the dead goat in the circle, which is in Rambo III.
Putting the dead goat in the circle is a war game, is chess.
That's why nobody could conquer Afghanistan.
Not Alexander the Great, The Mongols, the British Empire the Soviet Union, the USA, nobody.
That's right.
Putting the dead goat in a circle
is why
Nobody could conquer Afghanistan.
That's what makes Stallone a great movie maker.

A game can be a sport. Not all sports are games. Basketball is both. Chess is both.

Playing chess long enough, you think you're the King of the World. I play Western chess, Chinese chess, and Gomoku (tennis too).
I think I'm Serpentor.

A neighbor is friends with the local hockey team and players. We went to a Chiefs game last year and I kept thinking - "This looks so familiar." About half wat through is suddenly realized that the Canadian team were running all of these tactical and strategic patterns - pawn chains, double attacks, king safety, etc.; that were just like those on the chess board. The Canadians won using superior game play. I mentioned it to the neighbor and a couple of the players later and they all thought about it and then chortled, mentioning that I had spotted something that should have been obvious to them as also being chess players.

I bet it works the other way around too. An ice hockey player would recognize a Chinese chess board.

Chess is kinda funny.
I make a move, then it's your turn. Then you make a move, then it's my turn.
That's not real life.
Then I walked into tennis!
I can't believe a game that was made for me.

Down the line is Rooks.
Cross court is Bishops.
The volley zone is the center; but it's vulnerable to lobs, Cannons in Chinese chess.
And you can't go into your opponent's territory, like Elephants in . . . Chinese chess.
