Does Chess really exercise your brain to the extent?
I think chess is a sport, since you're competing against others if you're in a tournament. |

Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
Though Chess isnt a physical sport, it still is a sport by definition. |

Though Chess isnt a physical sport, it still is a sport by definition. that could just as easily be a "game" it's all dependent on where you get your definition though. some definitions of sport require physical activity and some don't. so it's a sport by one definition and it's not one by another. |
